FIMM GAII (Solexa) genome analyzer services up and running
Published on 2009-01-18
The Genome Analyzer II is a massively parallel sequencing platform for analyzing nucleic acid libraries in gigabase level. The GAII system produces over 1.5 gigabases of sequence in a single run. The clonal bridge amplification within the physically enclosed flow cell allows quantitative applications such as gene expression profiling. An additional dimension for the GAII platform is introduced by the paired-end module which enables us to generate multiple sequence reads per flow cell. Paired reads are essential for detecting structural variants (paired-end & mate pair reads) and for multiplexing samples (indexing tags).
