The Illumina MiSeq desktop sequencer allows high flexibility and easy access for smaller projects like targeted re-sequencing, 16S metagenomics, small genome sequencing, with a very short turn-around time.
New MiSeq reagents enable sequencing up to 15 Gigabases derived from 25 M sequencing clusters per run. Depending on user specified settings, reads can be single read or paired end read chemistry, with a maximum of 2x300 base pairs read length.
Key advantages of the MiSeq include:
- Longest short read sequencing (2x300 nt Paired end);
- Highest flexibility and fast run times;
- Low run cost/base;
- Best-established technology;
- Broad range of biological applications.
