GTC has two Illumina Genome Analyzers 2.0. Each sequencer can process up to 16 samples per week, with a data yield of 20-30 million reads per sample. Read lengths are 36 to >100 bases in single or paired-end formats.

Templates are “sequenced” by incorporating fluorescently labeled nucleotides with Illumina's proprietary “Sequencing-By-Synthesis” technology. A detailed description of this process can be found here: http://illumina.com/pages.ilmn?ID=203
