The GTC offers Next-Generation sequencing on the Illumina platform. We have two GAII systems and one HiSeq2000. The GAII systems typically yield 10-30 million reads per lane in single read or paired end mode. The HiSeq2000 typically yields 70-100 million reads per lane for only about 50% higher costs. Further costs savings can be realized with sample multiplexing.

We offer three full service options for library prep each using the Illumina TruSeq system with up to 12 unique barcodes for multiplexing. The Manual library prep protocol yields the highest quality libraries and is compatible with low sample inputs for applications like ChIP-seq. The SPRIworks protocol uses the SPRIworks system from Beckman for high-throughput processing and is appropriate for preparing libraries from high quality and quantity DNA inputs. The RNA-seq protocol is a manual protocol starting from total RNA and uses the Illumina TruSeq RNA kit.

User prepared libraries should be gel-purified and provided UNDILUTED in EB or similar. Please submit 5uL of undiluted sample.

Each sequencer processes 8 samples per run, or 7 samples plus a control. Full flowcell submissions (7 samples) can usually be started within one week of submission. Partial submissions of less than seven samples are put into a project queue where they join existing samples or await others before processing. Wait times for partial submissions vary but are generally two weeks or less until the START of the run depending on the requested run configuration and demand from other users. The most common run configuration is short (40 bases) and single read. Longer read and paired-end samples may take longer to turn around as there are generally fewer similar samples in the queue to fill out runs. Once a run has started, estimate approximately 1 day per 20 bases for the run and an additional 24-48 hours for data processing. Samples requiring library prep will also take an additional approximately one week for the prep.

TECHNOLOGY

The GTC offers Next-Generation sequencing on the Illumina platform. More details on the pricing page.


LIBRARY PREP SERVICE

We offer many options for library prep for a wide range of applications and input levels down to RNA from single cells. Please refer to the pricing page for more information.

SEQUENCING SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

STEP 1: REGISTRATION (FOR NEW CUSTOMERS ONLY)

  • INTERNAL CUSTOMERS: Do NOT require to register in the system

All external customers please obtain a purchase order number prior to your submission. If you need a quote, please email us at wibr-genome@wi.mit.edu or call us at 617-258-8803. Blanket purchase orders are preferred, if you plan to submit multiple projects over time.


STEP 2: PREPARATION OF SAMPLES

SUBMISSION OF SAMPLES FOR LIBRARY PREPARATION

Samples should be in a buffer that does not contain trace amounts of phenol or EDTA. We will save and return any unused input material after libraries are successfully prepared.

Below are our input requirements for Library Prep Service

Sample Type Sonication/Fragmentation* Fragment Size (bp) Input requirements (ng)** Volume (ul)
Genomic Required 200 to 400 500 to 1000 10-50
ChIP Required Variable (specify) 10 to 50 10-40
RNA (total) NA NA 100 to 1000 10-50

*Unless special arrangements are made with us in advance, we will assume that your genomic DNA sample has been fragmented, by sonication or otherwise, prior to submission.

**We can work with less if necessary, but it is best if you elute your DNA in 50 ul or less if you believe we may need to use all of it. Please give us at least 10uL of sample to ensure we have enough for QC and prep.

SUBMISSION OF PRE-PREPARED LIBRARIES

We typically need 10-20 ul of each library at 5 ng/ul or greater. If your library is less concentrated than 5 ng/ul, we’ll quantify it to make sure we have enough to sequence.


STEP 3: ONLINE SUBMISSION OF SEQUENCING LIBRARIES

  • Please complete the online submission form (Link To Form Available Here). Questions or problems related to the submission should be directed to Sumeet Gupta at sgupta@wi.mit.edu
  • Every physical sample tube should have its own Genome Tech Core ID (GTC ID) number (automatically generated and emailed to you immediately after submission of the online form), even if you plan to multiplex them.
  • Please write your name GTC ID numbers on the tubes. We prefer 1.5 ml tubes.


STEP 4: DROP-OFF OR SHIPPING

When you are ready, you may hand deliver or ship samples them on dry ice to:

Whitehead Institute Genome Technology Core
455 Main Street, Room 325
Cambridge, MA 02142

Please do not ship without first contacting someone in the lab, to make sure that we are here to receive your package. Do not rely on voicemail. Please wait until you hear back from someone.

DATA

Images acquired from the sequencer are processed through the bundled Illumina image extraction pipeline to get the sequence and quality score for each base. An in-depth QC report is included in the package.
