The Broad Institute purchased 30 additional Genome Analyzers from Illumina. It has thus increased its total installed base of Illumina systems to 89.
The Genome Analyzer offers a range of supported applications including whole-transcriptome profiling and discovery, epigenetic studies, whole genome resequencing, de novo sequencing, targeted resequencing, ChIP-sequencing, bi-sulfite sequencing (DNA methylation), small RNA, mRNA, tag profiling, and metagenomics.
