Illumina Technology Overview
Our technologies support a wide range of genetic analysis research applications, such as:
- Whole-Genome Sequencing: A comprehensive method for analyzing entire genomes.
- Genotyping: Studying variation in genetic sequences.
- Gene Expression and Transcriptome Profiling: Analyzing which genes and transcripts are expressed in a given sample.
- Epigenetics: Studying heritable changes in gene regulation that occur without a change in the DNA sequence.
Our Core Technologies
- Next-Generation Sequencing: Sequencing with ultra-high throughput, scalability, and speed. Learn how NGS works and what it can do for you.
- Sequencing by Synthesis (SBS) Technology: A highly economical, scalable NGS technology that supports massively parallel sequencing.
- Microarray Technology: Our bead-based technology offers a fundamentally different approach to high-density microarrays.
