Typical sequencing performance

(according to Roche Diagnostics GmbH, 06/11)

Roche GS FLX+ System Performance Parameters*

Read length: Up to 1,000 bp
Mode read length 700 bp
Typical throughput 700 Mb
Reads per run: 1,000,000
Consensus accuracy**: 99.997%
Run time: 23 hours

* Actual results depend on specific sample and genomic characteristics.
** Consensus accuracy at 15x coverage E. coli.

Benefits

Improved sequencing results in a wide variety of applications like e.g., genome de novo sequencing, transcriptome analyses and metagenomics (shotgun)

More accurate assemblies with fewer gaps, longer contigs and better assignment of repeat region
More complete full-length de novo transcript reconstruction
Reduced costs especially for large genomic projects
Extra-long sequencing reads
Increased total throughput

Read length distribution

a) 1,293,269 reads from a GS FLX+ run of the parakeet genome. Mode read length is 793 bp.
b) 1,017,391 reads from a GS FLX+ run of Drosophila larva cDNA. Mode read length is 551 bp.

Note: Read length of cDNA is physically limited by the shorter size of the input sample.
