NovaSeq X Series applications and methods

Unimaginable experiments, made unbelievably cost-efficient

The NovaSeq X Series offers vast application breadth, enabling data-intensive methods at production scale

NovaSeq X flow cells

Key applications and methods

The unmatched combination of production-scale throughput and cost enables deeper sequencing of larger sample cohorts. The NovaSeq X Plus system delivers up to 16 Tb of output, allowing sequencing of 128 human genomes at 30× coverage or 96 human genomes at 40× coverage per dual 25B flow cell run.

Illumina Complete Long Reads enables generation of both long- and short-reads on the same instrument for more scalable, comprehensive whole-genome sequencing.

Unlock the next wave of genomic discovery

Increased discovery power will come from larger studies, deeper sequencing to identify rare genetic events, and broader sequencing methods and multiomics for a more comprehensive view of cellular activity. Learn how you can perform broader, deeper sequencing and take on projects that were previously out of reach with the NovaSeq X Series.

More applications and methods

Methylation sequencing

Enhance epigenetic studies with high-coverage density and flexibility enabled by sequencing-based DNA methylation analysis.

Metagenomic sequencing

Sequence thousands of organisms in parallel. Identify unculturable or low-abundance microbes, or evaluate microbial diversity.

mRNA sequencing

Select and sequence polyadenylated transcripts for gene expression profiling studies.

High-throughput sequencing

Improve statistical power, get multidimensional insights, and increase analytical resolution with cost-efficient high-throughput sequencing workflows.

Tumor-normal sequencing

Genome-wide comparison of tumor vs matched normal DNA to inform analysis of oncogenes, tumor suppressors, and other risk factors.

Single-cell RNA-Seq

Assess the individual contributions of single cells in complex tissues by profiling the transcriptome.

ATAC-Seq

The assay for transposase-accessible chromatin with sequencing (ATAC-Seq) is a popular method for determining chromatin accessibility across the genome.

ChIP-Seq

Chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-Seq) is a powerful method for analyzing DNA-protein interactions and performing genome-wide surveys of gene regulation.

De novo sequencing

De novo sequencing refers to sequencing a novel genome with no reference sequence available. NGS enables fast, accurate characterization of any species.

Target enrichment

Capture genomic regions of interest via hybridization to target-specific biotinylated probes.

Long read sequencing

A highly accurate approach that can help resolve challenging regions of the genome such as complex structural variants and highly repetitive elements.
