News:Illumina iSeq 100 sequencer

Question

[GenoMax]

We can look forward to announcement of one (previously talked about) Illumina Sequencer next week at J.P. Morgan meeting. Dr. Keith Robinson has posted some thoughts.

At least one person has the sequencer in their lab:

First run on the new @illumina Firefly sequencer looks great! 6M 151x151 PF reads, 1.8GBases, >99.8% accuracy in 16 hours. Santa came with SBS candy in a CMOS wrapper this year. pic.twitter.com/TeAYny60cJ
