What is Illumina?

Illumina is a leading developer, manufacturer, and marketer of life science tools and integrated systems for large-scale analysis of genetic variation and function. Their technologies are used for a wide array of applications, including genome sequencing, transcriptomics, and epigenetics. Illumina sequencing, also known as sequencing by synthesis (SBS), is widely used for applications such as whole-genome sequencing, targeted sequencing, RNA sequencing, and metagenomics.
