Key Applications and Methods
With incredible speed and throughput, the HiSeq X Ten System was purpose-built for population-scale whole-genome sequencing (WGS). The HiSeq X Ten empowers scientists, institutions, and nations with the ability to create a comprehensive catalog of human and species variation, forge population-based references, drive far-reaching discoveries, and advance our understanding of biology and human genetic disease.
See how human WGS on the HiSeq X Ten is impacting the future of medicine.
