Protocols

Hereditary Cancer Panel (HCP)

This is an end-to-end method outlining sample extraction, library preparation, sequencing, and data analysis.

Ligation sequencing DNA V14 (SQK-LSK114)

This protocol describes how to carry out sequencing of a DNA sample using the Ligation Sequencing Kit V14 (SQK-LSK114). It is recommended that a Lambda control experiment is completed first to become familiar with the technology.
