Illumina generates 300bp reads on MiSeq at Broad

Danielle Perrin, from the genome centre at Broad presents an interesting webinar demonstrating what the Broad intends to do with MiSeq and lastly a 300bp single read dataset. Watch the seminar here. I thought I'd summarise the webinar as it neatly follows on from a previous post, MiSeq growth potential. Where I speculated that MiSeq might be adapted for dual surface, larger tiles to get up to 25Gb. There is still along way to go to get near this but if the SE300 data presented by Broad holds up for PE runs then we jump to 3.2Gb per run.
