Description

The Illumina HiSeq 3000 sequencer is designed for processing more samples in greater depth to generate richer, more meaningful data to accomodate a wide range of ultra-high throughput sequencing applications. Its flow cell features a capacity of processing over 200 Gb per day or 750 Gb per run, with up to 2.5 billion single reads. In a single run it can sequence up to 6 whole human genomes (at 30x coverage), up to 48 exomes, and up to 50 transcriptomes, assuming 50 million reads per sample. HiSeq 3000 features intuitive, touch screen controls, and accompanying software with guided step-by-step workflow directions. In addition real-time run statistics can be monitored locally or remotely. The Illumina sequencing systems utilize a well-established sequencing by synthesis (SBS) method in which fluorescently labeled nucleotide bases are detected as they are incorporated into DNA template strands. All four reversible terminator-bound dNTPs are present in each sequencing cycle; this feature minimizes bias of incorporation and greatly reduces raw error rates.
