Abstract
The NovaSeq 6000 is a sequencing platform from Illumina that enables the sequencing of short reads with an output up to 6 Tb. The NovaSeq 6000 uses the typical Illumina sequencing workflow based on library preparation, cluster generation by in situ amplification, and sequencing by synthesis. Flexibility is one of the major features of the NovaSeq 6000. Several types of sequencing kits coupled with dual flow cell mode enable high scalability of sequencing outputs to match a wide range of applications from complete genome sequencing to metagenomics analysis. In this chapter, after explaining how to assemble a normalized pool of libraries for sequencing, we will describe the experimental steps required to run the pools on the NovaSeq 6000 platform.
