Sequence data volumes for different analysers

[gavin.oliver]

Hi all,

I am wondering if anyone knows the volume (in GB or TB) of SEQUENCE data that is produced by a single run of the major NG sequencers? I don't mean image files etc rather the processed sequence files.

Fingers crossed for an answer

Hugely variable depending on who you ask and the setup of the machines, but this table might give you a steer:

Perfect - thanks.

I had already been pointed to this table for a previous question and didn't realise the answer to this question was contained in it too
