The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases, Atlanta, GA, hereby announces its intent to issue a contract to Illumina, Inc., 9885 Towne Centre Drive, San Diego, CA 92121 for the Illumina Genome Analyzer IIe sequencer and its associated c-Bot cluster generation system. We require DNA sequencing apparatus that (1) can provide up to 20 gigabases of DNA sequence per run (2) if needed, produce sequence reads of 100 basepair length (3) if needed, can run in 3 days or less (4) provides completely automated sample amplification (no emulsion PCR) to free workhours for our limited laboratory staff (5) produces no homopolymers errors in the sequence. After examining the technical specifications of commercially available systems, it was determined that the Illumina Genome Analyzer was the only system to meet our requirements. As operators of the CDC Genome Sequencing Laboratory we are very aware of the capabilities of current commercially available DNA sequencers. We have examined the commercially available products that might potentially meet the needs of our laboratory. After technical review of their specifications it is concluded that only the Illumina system meets all of our required criteria of production, accuracy, speed of operation and automation of preparatory steps.
