# Link to the Sequencing Methods Explorer

[The Sequencing Methods Explorer](https://www.illumina.com/science/sequencing-method-explorer.html) can be used to explore cutting-edge experimental next-generation sequencing (NGS) library preparation methods compiled from scientific literature. New methods will be continuously added.

Illumina has not tested or validated all methods. As such, users may have to consult the literature and validate the method in lab. Results of non-Illumina methods are not guaranteed, and these workflows are not supported by Illumina.
