WELCOME TO THE HTSF SUBMISSION SYSTEM
As we approach the winter holiday closure for both HTSF and the University, we want to inform you of our sample submission deadlines. To ensure data delivery before the break, please submit, approve, and deliver your samples by the following dates:
- Raw material (DNA or RNA): November 11th
- Libraries: December 2nd
- Pooled libraries: December 9th
While these deadlines guarantee data delivery before the break, we will continue to process all work submitted by December 1st to the best of our ability.
Important Notes:
- We will continue accepting and approving submissions after these deadlines
- Sample drop-offs will be accepted until December 18th at noon
-
For submissions after the deadlines, data delivery may occur after the New Year
- If you have concerns about your submission timeline, please contact HTSF in advance
Director’s Welcome
Corbin Jones
On behalf of the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research, the School of Medicine, and the University of North Carolina; welcome to the High Throughput Sequencing Facility (HTSF) web site. The HTSF is now part of the Integrated Genomics Cores (IGC) which also includes Mammalian Genotyping Core (MGC) and the Functional Genomics Microarray Core. Just prior to the COVID shut down, HTSF brought on a new director of the IGC: Greg Bowen.
We are pleased to have the opportunity to collaborate with you and support your research needs. The team is committed to providing the highest quality genomics and sequencing solutions, tailored to provide you the data you need to succeed, as cost effectively as possible. The HTSF has a long history in supporting research and scientific breakthroughs, and in helping understand a wide range of diseases and pathogens. We work with numerous vendors as beta testing sites for new services. Our R&D group can apply existing techniques in novel manners or help trouble shoot assays for you.

Greg Bowen
I am still learning but I am thrilled to be a member of this extraordinary group of scientists and to play a role in supporting so many vital research projects, both here at UNC and with our many external customers and collaborators. This new HTSF website is one of many ongoing initiatives to continuously improve the services and the quality we provide. With an eye on the future and a focus on the present, we continue to offer both tried and true and new, next generation sequencing technology solutions. I look forward to working with you and hope the IGC’s and HTSF can become your long term partner and collaborator!

Novaseq 6000 and Nextseq2000 vs HiSeq4000, mRNA comparison
As new NGS platforms become available, studies are required to shift the sequencings plans. This is a comparison of the same series of libraries run on older HiSeq systems (HS2500 and HS4000) and the newer Nextseq and Novaseq platforms. These were TruSeq stranded mRNA. Pools of 4 libraries were run on the HiSeq/ paired end/ … Read more
