Lab Capabilities

SeqCenter has been delivering genomics at scale since 2019. Founded by evolutionary biologists, our sequencing and analysis pipelines are built around rapid turnaround times (≤2 weeks), flexible sample requirements, and a commitment to delivering high-quality results across diverse research applications.

Today, SeqCenter processes thousands of samples every month through optimized laboratory workflows designed for speed, reproducibility, and scalability. Our scientific staff combines expertise in molecular biology, microbiology, genomics, and bioinformatics. PhD-trained scientists oversee projects from sample acquisition through data delivery. Extensive training, rigorous quality systems, and continual workflow optimization ensure every project receives expert attention from start to finish.

Researchers choose SeqCenter for sample input flexibility, white-glove project support, and consistent performance across a wide range of sample types, project scales, and research goals. Trusted by researchers at 43% of U.S. R1 universities, SeqCenter also supports more than 20 federal and national research agencies and 200 biotechnology and life science companies developing next-generation therapeutics, genomics, diagnostics, agricultural technologies, and synthetic biology applications.

With customers from more than 800 organizations in 40+ countries across six continents, SeqCenter combines operational scale, scientific expertise, and responsive customer support to help researchers advance discovery with confidence.

Illumina

The Illumina platform provides the backbone for a large portion of our sequencing workflows. We offer packages for individual samples that include WGS or RNA library prep and sequencing at pricing that takes advantage of high-volume multiplexing, as well as dedicated flowcell services for your pre-prepared library pools. SeqCenter maintains a wide range of Illumina instruments, including the MiSeq and NextSeq 2000 platforms, as well as Illumina’s flagship machine: the NovaSeq X Plus.

Oxford Nanopore Technologies

SeqCenter is a certified provider for Oxford Nanopore Technologies in whole genome sequencing, metagenome sequencing, RNA-seq, and other applications. We offer a wide range of expertise with several Nanopore applications, including 1D ligation sequencing. Our services use ONT’s latest R10 flowcells with the GridION and PromethION devices.

PacBio

The PacBio platform is our newest addition. We offer library preparation packages for WGS, AAV, and IsoSeq projects to produce HiFi reads on our PacBio Revio.

Bioinformatics Capabilities

SeqCenter houses a fleet of dedicated GPUs and redundant storage to tackle more computationally intensive analyses that can traditionally be taxing or near impossible for desktop machines. We rely on open-source software written by world-class researchers to produce user-friendly output. These programmatic software packages allow us to provide standard services ranging from de novo assemblies to paired differential expression analyses to methylation predictions.
