Genomics facility - Long-read and short read DNA sequencing
Good to know
In short- Combines long- and short-read sequencing.
- Needs high-quality DNA samples.
- Fits complex genome projects.
Wageningen Genomics Facility provides accurate, scalable DNA sequencing for complex genomes and metagenomes, supporting high-quality data for advanced breeding.
What can you do at this facility?
Using PacBio and Aviti, this facility offers a complete sequencing infrastructure for both long‑read and short‑read applications. Partners can perform de novo genome assemblies, structural variation analysis, full‑length transcriptome sequencing, population resequencing and metagenomics.
Expert support is available for sample preparation, library construction and bioinformatics analysis. With high accuracy, scalability and extensive multiplexing options, projects of any size can be executed efficiently.
High‑quality long reads for complex genomes
Applications:
- De novo genome assembly
- Structural variation detection
- Haplotype phasing
- Full‑length transcriptome sequencing (Iso‑Seq)
- DNA methylation detection using native DNA
Highly accurate short reads for high‑throughput projects
Applications:
