Illumina Sequencing by Synthesis

Need a refresher? This 5 min. video from Illumina might help.

Sequencing reagents are priced by the number of “cycles”. Sequencing by synthesis means that 1 chemistry cycle = 1bp.  Cycles are typically divided symmetrically. For example, a 150cycle reagent kit is typically used to perform paired-end 75bp sequencing. However, cycles can be allocated asymmetrically (upon request) for customized read lengths such as 37bp X 51bp.

MiSeq

The Illumina MiSeq is a single-lane “low-throughput” sequencer.
Version 2 chemistry (v2): 12-15M clusters (reads or read pairs)
Version 3 chemistry (v3): 20-25M clusters (reads or read pairs)

NovaSeq

With 800M, 1.6B, 3.3B, or 10B clusters (reads or read pairs) per flow cell, this is Illumina’s highest throughput DNA sequencer to date.
Highly flexible flowcell and reagent configurations facilitate cost-effective sequencing for large scale genomics research including single-cell applications, whole genome, whole transcriptome, and whole genome methylation profiling.
