Services

Sequencing Service

We offer OIST researchers sequencing service in a wide range of sequencing applications on different sequencing platforms. We provide support for project planning, DNA/RNA extraction, library preparation and sequencing. We also provide HMW gDNA QC service for long-read NGS DNA.

Currently, we are housing the following sequencer: Illumina NovaSeqⅩPlus, Illumina NextSeq1000, Illumina MiSeq, Pacbio Revio, Oxford Nanopore MinION, and Oxford Nanopore PromethION.

Acknowledgement

We would appreciate it if all work performed in OIST SQC is acknowledged in scholarly reports, presentations, posters, papers, and all other publications. We believe that proper acknowledgment provides one kind of visible measurement of our contributions and is thus essential for our continued funding.

Please contact us for your publication with a link if it includes data generated in SQC.

Please check the Core facilities attribution policy below for more information on the acknowledgement format. Our official section name is "Sequencing Section".

Sequencing Schedule

In principle, we will proceed in the order of Request IDs on a first-come-first-served basis. However, there will be exceptions under certain circumstances:

1. Sequencing-only requests are given priority over other requests. (Sequencing-only requests are marked with * on the request status table and ★ on the sequencing calendar below.)

2. Occasionally, to increase overall efficiency, we may combine ongoing requests with those of the same library preparation method (in ID order) and complete them concurrently.
