Illumina HiSeq 2500 Sequencer

lab machineThe Translational Genomics Core at Partners Personalized Medicine features the Illumina HiSeq 2500. The HiSeq 2500 uses massively parallel sequencing-by-synthesis technology to generate sequence data with unprecedented throughput and accuracy. This powerful sequencer is ideal for sequencing genomes,exomes, transcriptomes, and large targeted panels at higher sequencing coverage. Researchers can choose between the high capacity and rapid-run modes. We guarantee a minimum of 100 million clusters per lane of raw, unfiltered data.

Researchers can submit pre-made libraries or purified DNA/RNA for library construction and subsequent sequencing. The Translational Genomics Core will also ensure quality control  of all libraries by qPCR prior to sequencing.

Pooling of libraries is available at an additional cost. Pooling information should be added under special service instructions when submitting a GIGPAD batch order into our online LIMS.

 

Sample Requirements for Customer-Constructed Libraries 

Sample Type Minimum Volume Solution Concentration Fragment Size Purification
Customer-constructed libraries 20 ul TE or nuclease free water 20-100 nM (quantiated by picogreen) Electrophoresis Gel picture of BioAnalyzer profile should be included Qiagen QIAquick PCR purification (28104) or Agencourt Ampure XP (A63881) kit

Please submit samples in either VWR free-standing RNase/DNase free 0.5ml tubes (89004-286) or Fisher RNase/DNase free plates (AB-0800). We can provide these tubes/plates free of charge. If samples are submitted in a different container type, there will be a $5 transfer charge per sample.

Quality control

All samples submitted will be ensured for quality control (QC) to check concentration and purity by optical density (OD) using a Nanodrop 1000 and Picogreen assay using a Qubit Fluorometer. In the case of total RNA, RIN will be analyzed using Agilent Bioanalyzer chips or Tapestation tape. Any sample failing QC will be returned to the customer for replacement. Where no replacement is available, we can process the failing samples but cannot guarantee the success of the library construction, and no attempt to troubleshoot can be made.

Turn-around time

We work on a first-come, first-served basis and queue libraries only after passing QC. Faster turn-around time can be offered to customers who fill full flow cells on the high-capacity mode or opt to sequence in the rapid-run mode. Once on the flowcell, the rapid-run mode offers the fastest sequencing time of 24–48 hours. Depending on the read length, the high-capacity mode takes 5–12 days to sequence once on the flowcell.  

Ordering and pricing

Before sequencing can be carried out, please visit our order entry page to place a GIGPAD batch order. For quotes and customer inquiries, please email PPMCore@partners.org.
