In fact, its success has resulted in a demand for machine time that has exceeded capacity, requiring an upgrade to newer technology developed by Illumina. This new machine will increase sequencing throughput potential 5-fold, will accelerate data acquisition, and will deliver data at reduced operating costs. This upgrade will meet the increased demand of NIDDK while maintaining state-of-the-art-technology.
