Improved Protocols for Illumina Sequencing

In this unit, we describe a set of improvements that have been made to the standard Illumina protocols to make the sequencing process more reliable in a high‐throughput environment, reduce amplification bias, narrow the distribution of insert sizes, and reliably obtain high yields of data.
