+NGS is a fast changing technology. Two complementary technologies are used at the genomic platform. Short read sequencing is based on Illumina sequencers and for many questions  the answers given is based on this technology. 
+Long read molecules are generated on Oxford Nanopore flow cells.
+Based on these NGS technologies a broad spectrum of applications is available from de novo assemblies to spatial transcriptomics ...
