Learn how researchers at Immatics are using the MiniSeq System to help identify novel immunotherapy targets.
Accessible cross-method flexibility
Transition easily between sequencing methods for DNA and RNA applications
Access NGS with unrivaled simplicity and unthinkable speed
Targeted DNA sequencing allows researchers to focus on a select set of genes or relevant gene regions using fixed panels of expert-selected content or custom, user-defined gene panels. By focusing the power of next-generation sequencing (NGS), targeted sequencing enables cost-effective and systematic variant detection with high accuracy and reproducibility.
A highly multiplexed polymerase chain reaction (PCR)–based workflow for use with targets ranging from a few to hundreds of genes in a single run.
DesignStudio Assay Design Tool
A web-based assay design tool to help researchers design and order custom sequencing probes or create custom genotyping array assays.
Ready-to-use reagent kits include the reagent cartridge, flow cell, and hybridization buffer for use with the MiniSeq System.
The Illumina genomics cloud-computing environment for NGS data analysis and management.
The MiniSeq System sequences up to 50 small genomes per run* to provide a detailed view of the genomes of the smallest organisms. Small whole-genome sequencing (WGS) enables comprehensive analysis of microbial or viral genomes for applications in public health, infectious disease surveillance, molecular epidemiology studies, and environmental metagenomics. This approach does not require bacterial culture or labor-intensive cloning steps.
Nextera XT DNA Library Prep Kit
Rapid library prep optimized for small genomes, PCR amplicons, and plasmids, requiring as little as 1 ng of input and 15 minutes of hands-on-time.
Fast, integrated workflow for a wide range of applications, including sequencing of whole human genomes, amplicons, plasmids, and microbial genomes.
Ready-to-use reagent kits include the reagent cartridge, flow cell, and hybridization buffer for use with the MiniSeq System.
TELL-Seq Data Analysis Pipeline
Two data analysis pipelines (Tell-Read and Tell-Link) for microbial genome assembly.
Rapid alignment, variant calling, and annotation tool to quickly extract biological information from whole-genome sequences.
*Based on 5 Mb genome, 30× coverage, 2 × 150 bp read length, Nextera XT Library Prep Kit, and MiniSeq Reagent High Output 300-cycle kit.
Targeted RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) using the MiniSeq System enables gene expression measurement of dozens to thousands of targets simultaneously.† The MiniSeq System supports user-defined panels to target genes, isoforms, splice junctions, cSNPs, and fusion genes. Predefined panels of expert-selected content target major signal transduction pathways and cellular processes. Sequence 1–384 targeted RNA samples per run.
AmpliSeq for Illumina Custom RNA Panel
Targeted, custom RNA research panels optimized for sequencing up to 1200 genomic targets of interest.
