The latest addition to the Ilumina stable! What's next?
Illumina have just released the MiSeq instrument which allows a very quick turnaround on runs that may be useful for small genomes, QC runs of larger projects and personalised medicine.
I could not see anything about reagents though and wonder if this is a single lane system or not. It is only going to image about 10% of a lane based on what we see in GAIIx or HiSeq. Of course the lane might only be 10% of the size of a HiSeq flowcell.
There is also little about how it achieves such speed. The only thing they say in teh documentation is that new fluidics help speed things up, I am not sure how this makes an 8 fold difference though.
1 x 35bp 4 hours >120 Mb
2 x 100bp 19 hours >680 Mb
2 x 150bp 27 hours >1 Gb
