BaseSpace Hub NGS Data Analysis (2024)

Let's work together

Integrate, analyze, and discover with BaseSpace Sequence Hub

BaseSpace Sequence Hub is the Illumina cloud-based genomics computing environment for next-generation sequencing (NGS) data management and analysis. Sequencing labs can store and share sequencing data, and researchers can simplify and accelerate NGS data analysis with push-button tools. Labs can also set-up and monitor their sequencing runs in real time on any Illumina instrument. BaseSpace Sequence Hub can be accessed via an intuitive web-based interface or Linux-based command line tool. For customers who need a local solution, we offer BaseSpace Onsite Sequence Hub.
