Sequencing Facility

Overview

CCR Sequencing Facility

Mission:

The mission of the Center for Cancer Research Sequencing Facility (CCR-SF) is to utilize high-throughput sequencing technologies to enrich cancer research and ensure that the NCI community can leverage the leading-edge of Next-Generation Sequencing technology.

CCR Sequencing Facility: Overview

The introduction of DNA sequencing instruments capable of producing millions of DNA sequence reads in a single run has profoundly altered the landscape of genetics and cancer biology. Complex questions can now be answered at previously unthinkable speeds and a fraction of their former cost. At the Sequencing Facility, NCI researchers are provided access to the latest technologies, with consultation and Q&A services available throughout the design and execution of sequencing projects.

Our lab currently employs the following sequencing platforms:


HiSeq 6000

Illumina (Short Read) Sequencing Technology

  • Illumina sequencing utilizes reversible terminator chemistry optimized to achieve high levels of cost-effectiveness and throughput
  • Millions of reads produced per sample lane at 50 bp to 300 bp read lengths
  • Support for the multiplexing of 96 bar-coded samples into a single lane
  • Available resources include  NovaSeq6000,  NextSeq500,  Hiseq4000, and MiSeq sequencer

PacBio RS

Long-Read Sequencing and Mapping Technologies

PacBio Sequel Sequencing

  • Amplification-free sequencing via single-molecule real-time (SMRT) technology enables rapid identification of long nucleotide chains, with average yields 10 – 20 Gb per SMRT Cell (long-insert libraries) or 20-40 Gb per SMRT cell (short insert libraries)
  • Polymerase read lengths averaging greater than 45,000 bases per molecule, with maximum read lengths > 200,000 bases, facilitate genome assembly and mapping of repetitive regions with high fidelity circular consensus reads
  • The option of either 10 or 20 hour run times depending on desired data yield and accuracy, as well as project type
  • Project flexibility with production protocols that include large and small genome sequencing, whole and targeted transcriptome sequencing (Iso_Seq), and amplicon sequencing, either single or multiplexed, with the option of using a low-input protocol developed in-house that enables sequencing of as little as 500 picograms of starting material.

Single Cell

10X Genomics

  • 10X Genomics Chromium System, powered by GemCode Technology, provides a precisely engineered reagent delivery method that enables thousands of micro-reactions in parallel.
  • Incorporation of identifying barcodes enables reads generated by short read sequencing mapped back to their original HMW DNA, single cell, or single nucleus of origin.
  • Genome and exome sequencing using Linked-Reads resolves genic phasing, reveals structural variation and detects variants in complex regions of the genome.
  • Chromium Single Cell Gene Expression Solution enables cell characterization and gene expression profiling of thousands of cells, while Single Cell Immune Profiling enables simultaneous analysis
  • Chromium Single Cell ATAC (Assay for Transposase Accessible Chromatin) and Single Cell CNV Solutions reveal the heterogeneity and regulatory landscape of the genome, providing insights into cell variability and clonal evolution.

Bionano Genomics

Bionano Genomics 

  • Bionano’s non-sequencing-based genome mapping technology images and analyzes extremely long, high-molecular-weight DNA 
  • Felicitates identification of structural variants and creation of de novo genome assemblies

Oxford Napore

Oxford Nanopore Technologies MinIon Sequencing

  • Sequencing via nanopore technology enables rapid identification of ultra-long reads, with average yields 0.5 – 10 Gb per flow cell, depending on which application utilizes
  • Read lengths averaging greater than 100,000 bases per molecule, with maximum read lengths > 1,000,000 bases, facilitate genome assembly and mapping of repetitive regions
  • Amplification-free direct sequencing of individual DNA and RNA molecules precludes PCR bias and artifacts
  • Minimal machine turnaround time provides flexibility in experimental and run design
