Next-Generation Sequencing Informatics table update
October 5th, 2009
I have made some updates to the Next-Generation Sequencing Informatics table. Specifically, I have updated the numbers for 454 Ti, including paired-end information, and added information on the Illumina GA IIx. If anyone that is not employed by AB has real-world numbers for SOLiD 3, I’d appreciate you passing them along to me (I’m looking at you drd).
Update: I received some SOLiD 3 number from Nicholas Socci (thanks Nicholas!).
Update2: I received a fuller set of numbers from drd and the SOLiD 3 column is complete (thanks drd!).

Is it the case that the base throughput for the GA IIx is 3x higher but the SRA file size is 20x smaller? Is there a large difference is what’s being stored in SRA between GA II and GA IIx?

Jon, good eye. Other than 1000 Genomes, we are only submitting gzip’ed FASTQ for Illumina rather than SRF. FASTQ is only a few bytes per base as opposed to around 20 bytes per base for SRF.
