This makes it ideal for projects that require large amounts of data, such as <strong>whole genome analysis and large-scale RNA sequencing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Flexible throughput options<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>NextSeq offers <strong>two cartridge options<\/strong>. This allows you to choose either <strong>High Output<\/strong> or <strong>Mid Output mode<\/strong>, depending on the size of your project, and adjust the amount of data generated and run time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>High Output mode<\/strong>: produces up to 120 Gb of data and up to 800M reads with 100 base pair (bp) paired-end reads.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mid Output mode<\/strong>: produces up to 39 Gb of data and up to 260M reads with 100 base pair paired paired-end reads.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fast analysis<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>NextSeq is extremely fast sequencing compared to traditional Illumina sequencers; a single run provides analysis results within one to two days, making it ideal for time-sensitive projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Extensible lead length<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>NextSeq offers flexible read lengths, up to <strong>150 base pairs (bp)<\/strong>. This allows for either short or long reads to be used for analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. the NextSeq technology<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sequencing Bisynthesis (SBS) technology<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>NextSeq, like all Illumina sequencers, employs <strong>Sequencing by Synthesis (SBS<\/strong> ) technology, a technique in which fluorescently labeled nucleotides are incorporated into DNA one nucleotide at a time and the process is detected and sequenced in real time. The SBS technology is a method of sequencing DNA by detecting the incorporation of fluorescently labeled nucleotides one base at a time in real time. This allows for highly accurate and high-throughput sequencing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2-Channel Chemistry<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>NextSeq uses Illumina&#8217;s <strong>2-channel<\/strong> chemistry to read bases faster than traditional 4-channel methods. 2-channel chemistry uses two fluorescent signals to identify four different bases, which speeds up the sequencing cycle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">pair-end sequence<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>NextSeq supports <strong>paired-end sequencing<\/strong> (bidirectional sequencing), which improves the accuracy of genomic analysis by sequencing both ends of a DNA fragment. This enables the detection of complex mutations such as structural mutations, insertions, and deletions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Integrated Flow Cell<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>NextSeq uses an <strong>integrated flow cell<\/strong> and hundreds of millions of clusters are sequenced in parallel. This allows a huge number of DNA fragments to be sequenced simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"\/nippt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/takaomiudsc_0100-2739_TP_V4-1.jpg\" alt=\"\u89aa\u5b50\u9451\u5b9a\u3000NIPPT\u3000DNA\u9451\u5b9a\u3000\u533b\u7642\u884c\u70ba\" class=\"wp-image-2670\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hiro-clinic.or.jp\/nippt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/takaomiudsc_0100-2739_TP_V4-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.hiro-clinic.or.jp\/nippt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/takaomiudsc_0100-2739_TP_V4-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hiro-clinic.or.jp\/nippt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/takaomiudsc_0100-2739_TP_V4-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hiro-clinic.or.jp\/nippt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/takaomiudsc_0100-2739_TP_V4-1-485x323.jpg 485w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Applications of NextSeq<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>NextSeq is ideal for <strong>medium to large sequencing projects<\/strong>. It is especially widely used for studies that require rapid acquisition of large amounts of data. Below are the main applications of NextSeq.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.1 Whole genome sequencing (WGS)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>NextSeq is used for <strong>whole genome sequencing of the human genome and<\/strong> other organisms; it can analyze the entire human genome in a single run and is widely used in cancer research, genetic disease analysis, and evolutionary research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.2 Exome sequencing<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>NextSeq is also suitable for <strong>exome sequencing<\/strong> (sequencing only the coding region of a gene), which allows rapid acquisition of data related to specific diseases or genetic mutations. For human exome analysis, hundreds of samples can be processed in parallel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.3 Transcriptome analysis (RNA-seq)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gene expression analysis byRNA sequencing (RNA-seq)<\/strong> is <strong>also<\/strong> widely performed with NextSeq. This enables comprehensive examination of genes expressed in tissues and cells, and analysis of expression variations related to diseases and environmental responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.4 Multiplex Target Sequencing<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>NextSeq is also used for high-throughput targeted sequencing to <strong>comprehensively detect genetic mutations<\/strong> in cancer research and genetic disease studies. It is very efficient when analyzing specific gene panels or when sequencing a large number of samples at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.5 Microbial Genome Analysis<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>NextSeq is <strong>also<\/strong> used for <strong>whole genome and metagenomic analysis of microorganisms<\/strong> and is suitable for profiling diverse microbial communities in the environment and identifying infectious disease pathogens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Advantages of NextSeq<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Throughput flexibility<\/strong>: NextSeq offers the flexibility to handle small-scale targeted analysis to large-scale whole-genome sequencing with the choice of High Output or Mid Output settings depending on the size of the project.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Large amount of data in a short period of time<\/strong>: The fast sequencing process allows a large amount of sequence data to be acquired in a short period of time, making it suitable for projects with time constraints.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>User-friendly interface<\/strong>: NextSeq, like all Illumina sequencers, has intuitive software designed to be easy to use, even for novice users.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Highly accurate data<\/strong>: Illumina&#8217;s SBS technology and 2-channel chemistry provide highly accurate and reliable data. This is especially useful for detecting complex genomic variations.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">summary<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>NextSeq<\/strong> is a next-generation sequencer for <strong>medium to large sequencing projects<\/strong> and is widely used for <strong>whole genome analysis<\/strong>, <strong>RNA sequencing<\/strong>, and <strong>exome sequencing<\/strong>.
