The Genome Center has acquired a HiSeq 3000 sequencer to be able to provide faster sequencing at significantly reduced per-base-costs. The new sequencer is already delivered and will be installed this week and then tested. Please note that for some samples the library preps should be adjusted for the HiSeq 3000.
The new sequencer is more than three times faster than the HiSeq 2500 and yields about 65% more reads per lane.
