So does google...

Yeah, that too. But to stay on topic, 100 HiSeq 2000s will be in HK. This will make HK the sequencing capital of the world!

Is this really correct? I think on Illumina's official page, HiSeq 2000 is max 200Gb/run and GAIIx is max 50Gb/run.

Do we really need 60x coverage for genome sequencing???

Who in HK is buying 100 HiSeq instruments? I did read the press release that BGI are buying 128 HiSeqs but they are based in Shenzhen, which is in mainland China?

Oh, I've re-read the press release and I see that they are installing the machines in Hong Kong Science Park:

Yeah i noticed the discrepancy as well?
is it some vandalism to put in false numbers?

I think the source url should be put in the spreadsheet as reference

I can be added as a HYPERLINK to the number, like this:

=HYPERLINK ( "http://www3.appliedbiosystems.com/cms/groups/global_marketing_group/documents/generaldocuments/cms_078637.pdf" ; 100)

Then it will be clickable when seen in a website:
