Singular Sequencing

The Center currently hosts a G4 platform by Singular Genomics. Singular’s G4 platform is a short-read mid-throughput sequencing platform delivering adequate sequencing data through its proprietary sequencing-by-synthesis chemistry at a significantly competitive price point.

SUBMISSION

Minimum reads per lane are guaranteed if:

  • the BMC has performed quality control,
  • the samples are high-complexity, especially for the first 10 nt of read 1, and
  • submitted libraries are at least 2 nM.

Run Requirements

  1. Lane-by-lane requests must be 50 or 150 paired-end and compatible with TruSeq, Nextera, TruSeq, smRNA and Solexa sequencing primers. All other requests will require a 4 lane minimum since all lanes use the flowcell's sequencing primers and this includes Illumina libraries which have been converted.
  2. For standard lane-by-lane requests, the first index will be read off the S1 region of the final library, and index 2 will be read off the S2 region. Compared to a typical Illumina library, a Singular index 1 would be the reverse compliment of the i5 index, whereas index 2 would be the reverse compliment of the i7 index. |
