The Illumina MiSeq stands out as a robust desktop sequencing system ideal for targeted applications such as amplicon sequencing, small genome sequencing, metagenomics, miRNA-seq, targeted gene expression, and custom gene panel assays. With MiSeq reagents, it allows for an output of up to 15 Gb, featuring 25 million sequencing reads and 2 x 300 bp read lengths (600 bp-long fragment), with read numbers reaching up to 50 million depending on the type of run.
