HiSeq 3000 Sequencing

HiSeq3000 Technology The HiSeq 3000 sequencer represents the very latest sequencer generation and enables significantly faster sequencing and reduced per-base-costs. Please note that for some samples the library preps need to be adjusted for the HiSeq 3000. The new sequencer is more than three times faster
