The Genome Technology Core (GTC) offers Next-Generation sequencing on the Illumina platform. We have two GAII systems and one HiSeq2000. The GAII systems typically yield 10-30 million reads per lane in single read or paired end mode. The HiSeq2000 typically yields 70-100 million reads per lane for only about 50% higher costs. Further costs savings can be realized with sample multiplexing.
GTC support two major commercial platforms for microarray analysis, Affymetrix and Agilent. Both platforms provide excellent data though there can be some cost and experimental design differences.
