I think you're asking what Illumina "GA" means? The GA stands for "Genome Analyzer", the sequencing technology platform formerly called "Solexa" that is now owned and developed by Illumina.Mendelian Disorder: A blogshare of random useful information for general public consumption. [Blog]

GA can also be stand for Genetic Algorithm (one approach at data analysis not often used with sequencing data) or Global Arrays (one approach at using multiple processor to analyze data, also not often used in programs for analyzing sequencing data.
Michael.James.Clark's answer probably best addresses your question, but depending on where you saw GA it may mean any number of things.Comment

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) are essential techniques for investigating the genome, transcriptome, and epigenome. In many cases, choosing the appropriate technique is straightforward, but in others, it can be more challenging to determine the most effective option. A simple distinction is that smaller, more focused projects are typically better suited for qPCR, while larger, more complex datasets benefit from NGS. However,...10-18-2024, 07:11 AM -
Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) do not code for proteins but play important roles in numerous cellular processes including gene silencing, developmental pathways, and more. There are numerous types including microRNA (miRNA), long ncRNA (lncRNA), circular RNA (circRNA), and more. In this article, we discuss innovative ncRNA research and explore recent technological advancements that improve the study of ncRNAs.
