The High Throughput Sequencing Service utilises a second-generation Illumina Genome Analyzer (GAII) to produce millions of individual reads of 18, 36 or 50 bases in length. We can produce single read or paired reads from your sequencing library (both of these aspects are application dependant). The instrument uses a glass flowcell to hold 7 samples and one control during each run, and each sample is contained within a 'lane' on the flowcell. Each lane typically produces many millions of reads, equating to around 350MB of sequence. These lanes are the increments in which we provide sequencing capacity. Your exact throughput will depend on the template DNA, G+C content, library insert size and various other factors.
