System enables quick scaling to population-size genome sequencing


A new integrated software solution is designed to increase laboratory efficiency for population-scale, human whole-genome sequencing (HWGS). The Illumina SeqLab, for users with HiSeq XTM systems, helps to streamline workflows with integrated sample tracking and fast and accurate analysis solutions. Illumina partnered with GenoLogics and Hamilton Robotics to provide this end-to-end solution which includes Clarity LIMS X Edition, Microlab STAR liquid-handling robotics, HiSeq Analysis Software (HAS) v2.0 and the Illumina SeqLab consulting service.

For laboratories that are new to population-level sequencing, developing and configuring the laboratory automation and software capabilities needed to process thousands of genomes per year can take significant resources and an extended period of time. The Illumina SeqLab plug-and-play solution helps laboratories maximize efficiency, optimize laboratory utilization and streamline analysis to enable maximum sample throughput in as little as six weeks. Moreover, it helps laboratories to deliver sequence results with confidence by enabling positive sample tracking throughout the laboratory process. As part of the service, expert consultants provide customers with detailed recommendations as they deploy Illumina’s suite of world-class technologies. Illumina
