High-Throughput Genomics
Advancing Large-Scale Genetic Analysis
Researchers are harnessing the power of high-throughput genomics to conduct large-scale, global genetic analyses. This research often focuses on multifactorial genetic discovery of disease risk markers, and may involve looking for changes in genetic variants such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), indels, splice variants, structural variants, and methylation markers.
High-throughput genomics studies with tens to hundreds of thousands of samples require fast, cost-effective tools. Illumina offers genomic analysis technologies with comprehensive sample-to-analysis solutions and exceptional collaborative expertise to meet the needs of high-throughput labs.
Technologies for High-Throughput Genomics
Sequencing by synthesis technology detects single bases as they are incorporated into growing DNA strands, allowing scientists to fully characterize any genome.
BeadArray microarray technology offers trusted data quality and exceptional coverage of valuable genomic regions, making Illumina arrays the platform of choice by leading institutions for large-scale genotyping and drug discovery projects.
High-Throughput Approaches for Prioritizing Functional Genetic Variants
Recent technological advances have allowed for the development of high-throughput genomics-based strategies to assay GWAS SNPs for potential functional relevance. Powerful combinations of high-throughput experimental assays, single-cell approaches, and computational analyses are accelerating the ability to link variants to function, and, by extension, link genotype to phenotype.
