INTEGRATED SYSTEM FOR NUCLEIC ACID SEQUENCE AND ANALYSIS

摘要

An integrated end-to-end system for large-scale, high-quality nucleic acid sequencing having a nucleic acid extraction module, a library preparation module, a nucleic acid sequencing module, and a data analysis module reversibly integrated with one another and having components that are physically loosely-coupled within such system and reversibly integrated for sequence interrogation and analysis. This system is fully automated from sample to data output. A workflow management system is integrated across all system components and provides an intuitive user interface for managing system operations.
