Why is my HiSeq 2500 sequencing taking longer than usual

With the introduction of the HiSeq 4000 we're able to sequence faster and cheaper than ever before. But as we're transitioning the larger projects over to HiSeq 4000 a side-effect is fewer and fewer samples to run on HiSeq 2500; and as we're waiting for samples to fill the 8 lane flowcell that means longer wait times for you. We thought this post might help you determine if you still need to use HiSeq 2500, or if you can migrate over to HiSeq 4000. Most sequencing is taking under 2 weeks, but some people are now waiting up to one month for 2500 data.




We bought the new instruments in Genomics to do large RNA-seq gene expression and exome projects. The HiSeq 4000 has an increased maximum read-length (PE150 vs HiSeq 2500 PE125) and increased cluster density (312M clusters vs HiSeq 2500's 250M) so users can expect to see lower costs for sequencing. As a guide expect to run the following number of samples per application:

  • Genomes - 6 Human genomes (30x coverage) per flowcell in just 3 days
  • Exomes -  90 Nextera exomes (4Gb per exome) per flowcell in under 2 days.
  • RNA-seq - 125 mRNA-seq DGE (20M reads per sample) per flowcell in under 2 days.

How do instruments differ:  The HiSeq 4000 performs very well for RNA-seq and exomes. Data are highly comparable and certainly for new projects you should migrate to HiSeq 4000. If you are in the middle of a project it is probably worth a discussion to decide on the best time to switch, or how to mitigate the longer wait times on hiseq 4000.

The main differences between the machines are the clustering chemistry (either random clusters or patterned flowcells) and the sequencing chemistry (either the original 4-colour SBS, or the NextSeq only 2-colour version). The amount of data they each generate and the costs aso vary and so I've listed them below.

Costs are based on paired-end 150bp reads for equivalence
The NextSeq is the easiest system to run instead of 2500 as it is a single sample/pool per flowcell and generates about the same data as a HiSeq 4000 lane, however it is a different sequencing chemistry. Rapid runs cost the most but "should" generate data almost identical to the normal 8-lane flowcells.

PS: want to know  more about HiSeq 4000? Then read this post on my personal blog - (almost) everything you wanted to know about @illumina HiSeq 4000...and some stuff you didn't

  1. There are lot of data analysis services which provide users to expect to see lower costs for sequencing. So have this with proudly.

    1. Never give up in life they all say no cure to HSV 2 which is a big lie I have pass through many process also i never believe there is really cure to HERPES until I meet Dr. Sayo the doctor that have been helping many people for many years, I come across this doctor online when I was searching for cure online I found out about this man, and to my greatest surprise this man have the herbal medicine which I have been looking for years I explain my problem to him through the email I found on someone who testify about him also, Dr.Sayo reply and explain how the process work so after ordering for the medicine I got it within 4 days and I took it according to the way Dr.Sayo instructed, I was so happy after two week I took the medicine there was very big change in my health when I was done with the process I go for test, I found out I am negative that was the day I have the tears of joy you can also get in contact with my doctor through his email now (sayoherbalhealer@gmail. com) OR Contact Sayo by check FB Page https://www.facebook.com/Sayo-Herbal-Healer-100145798345000/  check website; http://sayoherbalhealer.website2.me/  check blog: https://sayoherbalhealer.blogspot.com/  And He also have herbs medicine to cured the following diseases; eczema,urethra wart,chronic problems.Herpes, Cancer, Als,Hepatitis, Diabetes, HPV,Infections,ulcer  ETC

  2. Ki-67 Cell Proliferation Assay The Ki-67 protein can be used as a marker for cell proliferation assay because it is expressed throughout the active cell cycle (G1, S, G2, and M phases).

  4. 5 years ago I had warts, I was treated with some liquid applied to the warts they continued to grow and spread... The next 2 doctors did laser surgery to remove them. 1 year after the surgery, they grew back close to where the 1st ones were' so I was finally told it was hpv. I have had it for very long time, I contract it from my cheated boyfriend and I found out he was also infected and I end up the relationship between us. the warts was so embarrasses because it started spreading all over I have be dealing with this things for very long time the last treatment I take was About 2 years ago I applied natural treatment from Dr onokun herbal cure, a week after applying the treatment all the warts was gone. it's now 2 years and some months I don't have single wart or any symptoms of hpv. wow"" it's great, Dr onokun has finally cured me. Anyone living with hpv contact Dr onokun for natural treatment.

  8. An all-natural cure that totally eliminates Herpes Virus and Other Stds. This cure follows a clinically proven set of steps that stops, heals and then cures HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS 2. My African American neighbor used this very same system to get his only daughter cured of Autism which she had suffered for years, and he (the African Father) was kind enough to tell Francis the supplements he used – you know whites hardly withhold information the way we do here. Sad thing! We arranged for a Contact with him Through his email : drrazorherbalhome@gmail.com. I also got to visit his website : https://herbalistrazorherb.wixsite.com/drrazorherbalhome and DOCTOR RAZOR went on to explain to me exactly what supplements to take, and what to do. He was also kind enough to package and ship down the natural supplements I needed to cure the Herpes simplex 2 Needless to say, I followed his directions on how to take the herbal medicine for 18 days and took the supplements as instructed. I am Delighted to announce that my test results came out Negative IN 4 different hospitals. Contact him on WhatsApp Directly +2349065420442
