Time Frame for Next Generation Sequencing Workflow for cancer genomics. Showing an estimate of time taken to get 96 samples ready for Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS). In this protocol, automated nucleic acid extraction (on Chemagic) is already shown to speed up the first step. The goal of complete liquid handling automation, considered in this review, would be to significantly reduce the hands-on time for the library preparation steps, before transferring samples to a sequencer.
