In all the hoopla about Illumina’s announcements, this might have been missed: they just discontinued five sequencing instruments. Did yours just become obsolete?

Surely it's no surprise. Our GAIIx has been obsolete for a long time... long prior to the announcement of new sequencers. I would have thought that anyone owning a GA-series instrument would know that it's not worth running unless you have a specific application that can't be done on another sequencer, or unless you were getting much better pricing from Illumina than we were!
... anyone want to buy a GAIIx? Perfect working order with all accessories included :-) -
Yes, you're absolutely correct. It's been effectively obsolete (and only minimally supported) for quite some time. The HiSeq 1000, 1500 and 2000 being discontinued is perhaps a bit more surprising, but their lineup was looking a bit crowded. The slimmed down choices seems to make more sense.Originally posted by ScottC View PostComment

The immune system’s power comes from its genetic diversity, allowing myriad threats to be neutralized through first recognizing foreign antigens. That diversity is also what makes the immune system so difficult to study. Recent advances in sequencing technology and computational biology, however, are giving researchers new tools to understand immune responses and immune-related diseases in greater detail.
