Lab Overview
Evolve Sequencing is the genomic data-generation engine of UNIC Evolve. It converts quality-controlled molecular libraries into high-volume digital biological information, supporting the initiative’s ambitions in biological AI, precision medicine, microbiome science, biomarker discovery, and computational biology.
Research & Innovation Focus
The lab enables next-generation sequencing workflows across genomics, transcriptomics, metagenomics, microbial profiling, targeted sequencing, and molecular discovery programmes. Its strategic role is to generate the biological data layer required for machine learning, systems biology, population-scale analysis, and translational health research.
Core Capabilities
The lab is supported by the Illumina NovaSeq X Plus Sequencing System for high-throughput sequencing and the Illumina MiSeq i100 Plus for targeted or flexible sequencing needs. It receives sealed, quality-controlled libraries from upstream preparation environments, maintaining workflow integrity while enabling scalable genomic and molecular data production.
