Genome Sequencer FLX System
Sequencer FLX System (454 Life Science/Roche) utilizing pyrosequencing technology that enables massively parallel sequencing in high-density microwell plates. With the new GS FLX Titanium chemistry it permits to generate about 400-600Mb* of sequence from each run. It supports sequencing of samples from a variety of starting materials, including genomic DNA, PCR products, BACs, and cDNA. The applications include de novo sequencing, resequencing of whole genomes and target DNA regions, sequencing of individual chloroplast genomes and metagenomics environmental samples, RNA analysis, transcriptome profiling using normalized and non-normalized cDNA libraries and many more.

Sample submission
For a typical shotgun genome sequencing project provide 10 ug of double-stranded DNA, with the concentration 300-500 ng/ul in TE buffer, and OD (260/280)>1.8. Please provide a photo of an agarose gel documenting the DNA quality. For all other types of samples and additional information please contact Alina Akhunova at akhunova@ksu.edu or 785-532-1393.
The Genome Sequencer FLX System is purchased through the Kansas State University Targeted Excellence Program grant awarded to Drs. Akhunov E., Gill B., White F., Garrett K., Nelson J.C., Brown S., Johnson L., Herman M., Yu J., Narayanan S., Zurek L., Caragea D.
