Illumina HiSeq 2500
High-throughput short-read sequencing platform. Note: replaced by NovaSeq 6000 at MR DNA for most applications.
Platform replaced
For most projects, MR DNA now runs short-read work on
Illumina NovaSeq 6000 for higher throughput and better efficiency.
Historical HiSeq use cases
- Whole genome sequencing (short-read)
- RNA-seq and transcriptomics
- Large multiplexed studies
- Legacy workflow compatibility
Why NovaSeq 6000 now
- Higher output per run
- Better cost per base at scale
- Modern chemistry and run modes
What to include in a request
- Sample type and count
- Target data volume (reads per sample / coverage)
- Read length preference (e.g., 2×150)
- Deliverables (FASTQ only vs analysis/report)
