FAQ
The sequencing platform choice will depend on your organisms and experiment goals. Hybrid sequencing produces the highest quality results, but takes longer and costs more than long-read sequencing. Don't hesitate to ask our team for recommendations.
Long-read sequencing quality has massively improved, and most practical use cases are fine with long-read only sequencing but use cases where absolute precision is required should employ the hybrid method.
We require 1 µg high-quality DNA or 8-12 OD600 cells of an isolate. The organism's genome size should be under 20 Mbp. See sample preparation guidelines here. We are not able to process metagenomic or polymicrobial samples.
We will re-sequence failed samples free of charge to make sure that the error was not due to sequencing. If the sequencing fails a second time, it is likely that we will need a new sample.
We can sequence pathogenic bacteria and fungi BSL 2 or lower.
