CeGaT offers sequencing of custom-made libraries compatible with Illumina or PacBio systems. We make use of the latest sequencing technologies. Depending on your needs, samples will be sequenced either on Illumina short-read platforms (NovaSeq™ X Plus, NovaSeq™ 6000, MiSeq) or the PacBio Sequel IIe long-read system.
Flexible sequencing options are available, specifically tailored for your project. Please refer to our technical information for further details.

Bioinformatics
Depending on the used sequencing platform, the data formats differ. For short-read sequencing projects you will either receive raw sequencing data as BCL files or demultiplexed FASTQ files. If needed, adapter trimming can be performed. For sequencing projects completed on our PacBio system, you will get the HiFi reads as clipped BAM files or FASTQ files.
Technical Information
At CeGaT, sequencing is performed using the Illumina or PacBio sequencing platforms.
For sequencing projects on the Illumina platforms, we accept any compatible library. Illumina index sequencing primers and custom primers may be used during the sequencing process at CeGaT. For Single-Lane Sequencing, it is not possible to use custom primers. If you have generated libraries with commercial library construction kits for PCR-based targeted sequencing using a unique molecular identifier (UMI), we can offer sequencing modes with customized sequencing parameters. The lengths of read 1 and read 2, as well as the index read lengths can be adapted to your needs.
For conducting HiFi long-read sequencing projects, we accept libraries generated using the SMRTbell prep kit 3.0. If you also want us to perform the SMRTbell library preparation with your ready-to-use DNA samples (sheared/purified DNA), please let us know and we can discuss the options.
Explore our Ready to Load Sequencing product portfolio with various sequencing options for your libraries. Depending on the batch size, required output, and read number specifications, you can choose from our portfolio.
