@Genohub blog (from post #3) indicates following:
2 "lanes" for S1,S2 flowcells and 4 for S3,S4. S1,S2 only compatible with NovaSeq 5000 and S1-->S4 for NovaSeq 6000.
NovaSeq is using TWO color chemistry. Could be a concern for some.

With AGBT so close, it remains to be seen if we will see another major announcement there.
And while sequence is sequence regardless of instrument, $/Gbp do matter to researchers. We were loosing business because we had a 2500 as our top instrument and researchers were going elsewhere to get cheaper sequencing done on a 4000. I fear the in a year's time, when enough NovaSeq's are in the field we will be right back in the same boat.
All that said, after digging into the specs (as sparse as they are) it looks to me as though the NovaSeq flow cells are single sample, like the NextSeq. Not a single bit of the literature uses the word "lane". If that is the case then its target market isn't a core like ours. If indeed each flow cell is loaded with a single sample then it would not be a nightmare for a core like ours to coordinate multiple projects to fill up one massive sample load.if there are no independent "lanes"See next post.
Creating a big pool with compatible samples would be a headache for a core as some customers like to make their own libraries to save costs.Last edited by GenoMax; 01-10-2017, 06:34 AM.

Having seen a string of new sequencers over the years I feel that I would rather have someone else do the bug hunting/fixing in the first year with a new instrument. It may be better to buy the sequencer in the second year, when you are much less likely to face these "growing pains".
If one is going for the "bragging rights" then there is no space for above logic.

Illumina will of course say it is impossible to do the same with the current sequencers (reduce distances between nanowells).
Similar there seem to be no single end flow cells and only PE150 read kits for two the highest read number flowcells.

Summary of NovaSeq Specs
Biggest change is NovaSeq's reduction in space between nanowells, designed to increase cluster density and data output (up to 2-3x more per flow cell than HiSeq X). Notable is the omission of Nextera based exome and Nextera DNA library prep in the initial compatibility line up.
Summarized specs here: https://blog.genohub.com/2017/01/10/...5000-and-6000/

NovaSeq from Illumina
Illumina just announced a new type of sequencer: NovaSeq
Specifications are here.
NovaSeq 6000 - 6 Tb data/20 billion reads in 2 days
NovaSeq 5000 - 2 Tb data/1.6 billion reads in 2.5 days
Flowcells
S1,S2 - Flowcells for counting applications
For S2 - PF 1775-2070 cluster/mm^2
S3,S4 - High coverage applications
Same cartridges on both sides (three total).
Reagent Cartridge - Will take one library tube (200-300 pM) per FC
SBS Reagents - Frozen
SBS Buffers - Room temperature ship/store. Ready to use.
- FC looks huge, like NextSeq. Easy to place. No futzing needed.
- Run setup identical to current HiSeq sequencers.
- Mix/match flowcells.
- Two sides of the instrument can work independently (stream data to BaseSpace on on side, store locally on other side).
- Automatic post-run wash once sequencing is complete
- Run times includes cluster generation.
- Network speed (200 mbps)
- ONE library pool per flowcell. Lanes visually distinct but fluidically identical
- Both 5000/6000 are dual FC systems. For 5000 systems run times slightly longer
- Custom primers possible
- Asymmetric runs possible (e.g. 100 x 75)
- No "Rapid" run capability needed (Illumina's take)
- FC's can be used for single and paired-end recipes
- ExAMP, all self contained in the sequencer
- 200/240V, adequate HVAC
Test NovaSeq data is available on BaseSpace.Last edited by GenoMax; 01-24-2017, 10:05 AM.

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...-

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-
