Drawing Innovation: @illumina Super-Resolution Optics
Recently, $ILMN unveiled the NextSeq 2000, a mid-throughput sequencer w/ a ~2X reduction in operating costs ($/GB).
We think the upgrades inside the NextSeq 2000 may soon enable a $100 clinical-depth human #genome.
But how?

We think the upgrades inside the NextSeq 2000 may soon enable a $100 clinical-depth human #genome.
But how?
The cost savings come from (1) a new upfront #chemistry and (2) super-resolution optics. We think @illumina will use real-world customer data on the NextSeq 2000 to optimize 1 and 2, then possibly upgrade the #NovaSeq line.

I'm going to briefly (!) illustrate how #sequencing (*by synthesis*) works, walk through a farming analogy, then dive into some technical details. (Sources at the end)
Below is a general overview of a whole genome sequencing workflow (sample in, data out).
