SOLiD System - Overview

What’s been accomplished with the Illumina Machine? The very first person of Chinese ethnicity from Han ethnicity: Xinhua sequence; the first person of African descent: the Yaruba sequence. And the cost to sequence your genome last April was $50,000. My advice would be to wait a few months because it’s just going to cost less. The first upgrade of the genome sequencer originally it could do 1 GB in three days; it’s up to 3GBs. But in April there was an 8 GB run and today, I have heard of runs over 20 GBs per run.
