Illumina HiSeq

The Illumina HiSeq is a high-tech machine used for genetic sequencing, which means it reads the DNA in a sample to determine the exact order of its building blocks (nucleotides). It's widely used in research and medical fields to analyze genomes, identify genetic variations, and study diseases. The process involves preparing DNA, then the HiSeq machine rapidly sequences millions of small DNA fragments simultaneously, generating large amounts of data quickly and accurately. This advanced technology helps scientists understand genetics at a detailed level, enabling breakthroughs in personalized medicine, cancer research, and other biological studies.
