Improved Protocols for the Illumina Genome Analyzer Sequencing System

In this unit, we describe a set of improvements we have made to the standard Illumina Genome Analyzer 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.
