Perhaps I could come at this from a different direction (or invite educated guesses?). I am not actually an Illumina user, so I'm not familiar with the workflow that generates the clusters in the patterned flow cells: how long (minutes) does this step take, or is this a variable dependent on the insert length? Does this length of time give anyone a clue as to how many copies there might be per cluster?
Thank you for any input.
