2015 QC Plots

August 27, 2015
The 2015 QC plots are available for the 454 (updated) and the Ion Torrent PGM (new) With a lot more runs for the 454 GSJunior, we have updated our QC plot for 2015: Unfortunately, the 700+ basepair runs are no longer supported. However, an average of >100,000 thousand reads with...

Ion Chef available

March 24, 2015
The AmpliSeq library prep and/or emPCR to sequencing chip loading is now available via an automated platform in the Vironomics Core. This will enable less hands-on-time and error and the ability to do 4 or 8 AmpliSeq automatically.
