I think you're asking what Illumina "GA" means? The GA stands for "Genome Analyzer", the sequencing technology platform formerly called "Solexa" that is now owned and developed by Illumina.Mendelian Disorder: A blogshare of random useful information for general public consumption. [Blog]

GA can also be stand for Genetic Algorithm (one approach at data analysis not often used with sequencing data) or Global Arrays (one approach at using multiple processor to analyze data, also not often used in programs for analyzing sequencing data.
Michael.James.Clark's answer probably best addresses your question, but depending on where you saw GA it may mean any number of things.Comment

At the intersection of cytogenetics and genomics lies the exciting field of cytogenomics. It focuses on studying chromosomes at a molecular scale, involving techniques that analyze either the whole genome or particular DNA sequences to examine variations in structure and behavior at the chromosomal or subchromosomal level. By integrating cytogenetic techniques with genomic analysis, researchers can effectively investigate chromosomal abnormalities related to diseases, particularly...Yesterday, 06:26 AM -
Cancer research has been transformed through numerous molecular techniques, with RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) playing a crucial role in understanding the complexity of the disease. Maša Ivin, Ph.D., Scientific Writer at Lexogen, and Yvonne Goepel Ph.D., Product Manager at Lexogen, remarked that “The high-throughput nature of RNA-seq allows for rapid profiling and deep exploration of the transcriptome.” They emphasized its indispensable role in cancer research, aiding in biomarker...09-07-2023, 11:15 PM -
Ribonucleic acid (RNA) represents a range of diverse molecules that play a crucial role in many cellular processes. From serving as a protein template to regulating genes, the complex processes involving RNA make it a focal point of study for many scientists. This article will spotlight various methods scientists have developed to investigate different RNA subtypes and the broader transcriptome.
