Illumina Eyes $100 Genome Analysis

Illumina, which is based in San Diego, California, said its new NovaSeq series sequencers are designed so that researchers can conduct large-scale genomics projects with greater sample volumes, thus lowering the per-sample costs for most applications. The machines, the NovaSeq 5000 and the NovaSeq 6000, are priced at $850,000 and $950,000, respectively, Illumina said.1 The company plans to begin shipping the NovaSeq 6000 in March and the NovaSeq 5000 by midyear. - See more at: http://www.onclive.com/publications/oncology-live/2017/vol-18-no-16/nextgeneration-sequencing-company-sets-sights-on-100-genome-analysis#sthash.zfNygicH.dpuf
