Good info presented by Illumina R&D folks at ASHG last week. Isoform detection in single cells pairing Illumina 3' Single Cell RNA library prep and MiSeq i100 600 cycle kits on 50M reads flow cells. NovaSeq X 600 cycle kits not far away either!

Hi Alice.. A lot of your questions will be anwered in this blog post: sapac.illumina.com/science/geno...

But.. It is the same flow cell technology as exists today.. but it is not a 10B or a 25B, but it is 8 lanes.
Yes, fragmented in nanowells, long fragments are spatially resolved on the molecule.

Constellation illuminates rare disease genetics Despite significant advances in genomic sequencing, the resolution of many rare disease cases is still hindered by variant detection limitations. Short reads struggle in homologous regions, and long r...

Illumina constellation technology gets a preprint after ASHG. Detecting complex genomic variants in samples that could not be assessed with traditional long reads. #Sedlazeck

MiSeq i100 1000 cycle kits. Shipping week of 20th October. Next week!
This is going to open a lot of applications. Illumina does it again, only short read technology doing 1000 cycles.
