Next generation sequencing has made tremendous breakthroughs in the past decade, pushing the cost of whole genome sequencing to $1,000 in 2014. Illumina has been at the forefront of this progress through introduction of innovative technologies that have made this trajectory possible. In this talk, I will discuss the basics of DNA sequencing and, in particular, Illumina's technologies that enable different aspects of sequencing from library preparation, to sequencing by synthesis, and analysis. In addition, clinical applications of sequencing, such as cancer and prenatal diagnostics, will be briefly covered.
