Welcome to the High Throughput Genomic Sequencing Facility

HTSF Year End Deadlines

To all HTSF Users:

As we approach the end of the calendar year, there will be a number of UNC holidays and breaks in Illumina services. This will cause the HTSF to have a shortened timeline to complete work before the end of the year. We want to make sure we can accept and complete all work as expected by studies. For this reason, we have the following dates as deadlines for submission of work. These deadlines apply to all sequencing systems in the HTSF including Illumina HiSeq and MiSeq.

We will make every effort to deliver all data by end of the day on 12/20 if work is submitted according to the deadlines listed. But depending on services required, we cannot guarantee data receipt before closure. If we have sample quality or machine issues, which can delay in data delivery, we will let study know what samples will be impacted. As always, we request that studies understand that the first samples received, will be the first samples worked on for completion.

Of course, we will accept all material up until we close. Samples dropped off after deadlines may not be started before the closure. If you have concerns, please contact us prior to your submission / drop off of materials so we can address any issues.

Thank you for understanding the need to adhere to the deadlines.
