Joseph R. Ecker, Ph.D., Salk Institute for Biological Studies
"With the Genome Analyzer, small labs like ours can do
very big projects in a very short time. This machine is the equivalent
of a genome center in a box!"
- Dr. Ecker’s work using the Genome Analyzer

Laurent Farinelli, Ph.D., Fasteris
"The Genome Analyzer is enabling our clients to do things that used to be impossible,
experiments that they only dreamed of doing, but can do now at a reasonable cost. The Genome
Analyzer has completely changed our business."
- Dr. Farinelli on the Genome Analyzer

Yuan Gao, Ph.D., Virginia Commonwealth University
"The operational cost, ease of use, and scalability of the Genome Analyzer has put the
power of large-scale genomic experimentation into my hands. My small lab is now doing
the kinds of experiments once only possible at the large genome centers. Its low sample
input requirements, simple workflow, high-quality data, and applications flexibility
distinguishes the Illumina Genome Analyzer from other high-throughput sequencing
technologies."

Pamela Green, Ph.D., Delaware Biotechnology Institute
"We’ve been very pleased with the data quality from Illumina’s
sequencing services. Our comparative genomics project is huge…for us it’s a
big advantage to just send the total RNA samples to Illumina."
- Dr. Green on the Genome Analyzer

Brian D. Gregory, Ph.D., Salk Institute
"…at this point we haven’t found anything that we can’t sequence
with the Genome Analyzer. Wherever the biology leads us, that’s where we’ll go…"

Gregory May, Ph.D., National Center for Genome Research
"For our purposes, Illumina seemed to be the best fit for three main reasons: the
cost per data point, the workflow, and informatics ease….we spend most of our time
querying the data and looking at our biological questions instead of fussing with the
instrument and fussing with data management."

Blake Meyers, Ph.D., Delaware Biotechnology Institute
"We have a long-standing relationship with Illumina and find Illumina’s
Genome Analyzer data quality very high. We think of it as the gold standard. Small RNA
sequencing, especially from plant systems with their tremendous diversity, is a bigger
challenge compared to some applications of DNA sequencing because the libraries are more
complicated to construct. We’ve really enjoyed working with Illumina for these
challenges in particular."

Jay Shendure, M.D., Ph.D., University of Washington
"The consensus accuracies for resequencing applications need to be
extremely high. One thing that wasn't a guarantee was whether we could
use the consensus of multiple reads, generated by a second-generation
platform, over a given position to accurately make resequencing base
calls as heterozygous or homozygous. What's clear from the data that
we've seen so far from the Genome Analyzer is that the answer is: yes, you can."
