Oxford Nanopore Library Preparation

Nanopore library preparations that are offered by the Genomics Core are listed below. Descriptions of these library kits can be found on the Nanopore Sequencing Technology page. One library preparation is required for each sequencing flow cell, and flow cell prices are listed below. Sequencing yields with current Nanopore library kits and the current flow cells is highly dependent on sample quality. The Nanopore Sequencing Technology page has some guidance on yields. Also see the Nanopore Sample Requirements page for information about submission requirements. Please contact the Genomics Core if you have questions.

Oxford Nanopore Flow Cells

Currently, the Genomics Core only offers the SpotON Flow Cell Rev D (FLO-MIN106D) flow cells for running on our GridION instrument. As new flow cells are released by Oxford Nanopore, additional flow cell designs may become available at the Genomics Core. The SpotON Flow Cell Rev D is not appropriate for 1D2 libraries. Researchers may submit their own libraries for sequencing in the Genomics Core, but it is necessary to contact the Genomics Core before submission in order to coordinate with us. One library preparation is required for each sequencing flow cell, and library preparation prices are listed above. Flow cells are not available for sale directly to researchers. Please contact the Genomics Core if you have questions.

Illumina Library Preparation 

Standard library preparation is performed with Illumina TruSeq library preparation 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.
