NovaSeq X Sequencing Services – UBC Genomics Collaborative


The UBC Genomics Collaborative is the premier, highest-capacity sequencing core facility at the University of British Columbia. Anchored by the campus-exclusive Illumina NovaSeq X platform we offer fast and cost effective high-throughput sequencing services.

Our Core Infrastructure & Services:

  • High-Throughput Production: Scalable short-read fee-for-service NovaSeq X sequencing.
  • Open-Access Instrumentation: Flexible walk-up access options.
  • Full Service & Consultation: Comprehensive project mapping, sample processing, and sequencing handled by expert staff.

The facility is operated as a collaborative faculty-driven platform, bringing together investigators whose research programs depend on rapid, reliable, and cost-effective access to advanced sequencing capabilities. This collaborative model ensures that the platform continually evolves to incorporate the latest genomic technologies and experimental strategies. The platform is supported through competitive research infrastructure and program funding from organizations including the Canada Foundation for Innovation, Canadian Institutes of Health Research, National Institutes of Health, Genome BC, Terry Fox Research Institute, Michael Smith Laboratories and The B.C. Knowledge Development Fund.

We provide a comprehensive range of services to support genomics research, including experimental consultation, walk-up sequencing access, and both standard and custom (bespoke) DNA and RNA library construction. Our workflows incorporate the latest library preparation strategies for bulk sequencing, single-cell genomics, and spatial genomics applications, enabling researchers to design and execute experiments that capture biological complexity at unprecedented resolution.
