De Novo Sequencing Using the 5500xl Genetic Analyzer

Superior coverage to get more genomes sequenced, and sequenced faster

The accuracy and throughput of the 5500xl Genetic Analyzer enables unparalleled de novo assembly of novel genomes, opening the way to detailed genetic analysis of any organism.

  • Accuracy—ultra-deep sequencing capability combined with industry-leading, highly accurate 2-base color coding, plus Exact Call Chemistry (ECC), enables short-read assembly with less coverage
  • Flexible file output—output files in base space or color space enable you to use the short-read assembler of your choice
  • Throughput—generate over 20 Gb of sequence per day and get the coverage you need for high-confidence assembly
  • Flexible library format—long-insert 2 x 60 mate pairs with your choice of insert size from 1 kb–6 kb, paired end reads, fragment reads, or a combination of library approaches, the flexible format FlowCells allow you to run them all simultaneously
  • Coverage—long-insert mate pairs, ultra–high-throughput and industry-leading accuracy give you superior coverage to get more genomes sequenced, faster
