Illumina Library Preparation 

Standard library preparation is performed with Illumina TruSeq kits. Alternatives may be available for low-input or low-quality starting material. Please contact the Genomics Core for more information.
1Appropriate for high quality, eukaryotic RNA samples.
2May be used for bacterial RNA, low-quality (e.g. degraded) eukaryotic RNA, or when you wish to capture ncRNA along with mRNA. These kits are species specific, please contact the Genomics Core for more information.

HiSeq 4000

HiSeq 4000 services are purchased per lane. Output per lane: Illumina's Specs: 264-312 million clusters passing filter (CPF); Genomics Core's frequent output: 320-375 million CPF.  For single end sequencing, each cluster will generate one forward read.  For paired end sequencing, each cluster will generate one forward read and one reverse read.
4Other sequencing formats may be possible but would require the purchase of the entire flow cell (8 lanes). Please contact gtsf@msu.edu for more information.
5Requires the purchase of the entire flow cell (8 lanes). Please contact gtsf@msu.edu for more information.
