Whether you need to sequence an entire genome or a large candidate region, the Illumina Genome Analyzer is today’s most productive and economical sequencing tool. By leveraging proprietary reversible terminator chemistry and a novel polymerase, this solution delivers unprecedented volumes of high-quality data, rapidly and economically. Reversible terminators avoid homopolymer sequencing errors seen in pyrosequencing or the high G-C bias observed in hybridization and ligation–based chemistries. The Genome Analyzer single-read technology can sequence up to eight samples, achieving 75 bp reads and up to 100 million reads per single-read run.

Highlights

• Simple Library Preparation: Follows standard molecular biology methods; compatible with robotics
• Low Input DNA Requirements: 100 ng–1 μg gDNA or cDNA
• Economical: 1/100th the cost of traditional Sanger sequencing
• Simplified Data Analysis: Higher quality sequence assemblies with short-insert libraries
