BUMSR Core Sequencing Service Request

  • Library QC via bioanalyzer is performed as part of sequencing. Complete ONLY this form if you would like the BUMSR Core to sequence your libraries. DO NOT complete the Bioanalyzer QC form in addition

  • If you do not have an grant number yet, please email the MSR Core at MSRLab@bu.edu as soon as you receive one. The service will not be provided until the Core receives the account number.
  • If you are an non-BU investigator, please indicate your invoice number or "Invoice Pending."
  • Illumina NextSeq 500 & 2000 Sequencing

  • This does not refer to multiplex indices. If you prepared your libraries using a custom protocol not tailored to sequencing on Illumina instruments, you may need a custom primer to sequence your library insert. Please refer to your protocol.
  • For more information about differences in read output, cycling, and cost differences between the two NextSeq instruments, please see the "Services" and "Pricing" sections of this site.
  • Please provide more information about your custom read length parameters

  • Individual libraries must be pooled for sequencing. The MSR Core provides this as a service for an additional cost per sample.
  • Please enter the same number as "Library Pools for Sequencing" if you do not intend to sequence each pool more than once.
  • Please download and fill out the library information excel sheet here. Please give the entire sequence of your indices, not only the well location or product part number. Also, please indicate the volume of each library if you are submitting them individually.
  • Basic RNA-Seq analysis is available at additional cost to the sequencing run.
  • The BUMSR Core uses Illumina’s BaseSpace cloud platform to store and transfer sequencing data. If you (or the analyst assigned to your study) have not previously, please sign up for a free BaseSpace account and provide the email used to register below.

  • Please include any additional notes below.
  • This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.
