Illumina Nextseq 1000 is a benchtop sequencer used for sequencing for a variety of applications such as Small Whole-Genome Sequencing (microbe/virus), Targeted Gene Sequencing (amplicon, gene panel) and16S Metagenomic Sequencing. There is currently no other sequencing technology in the market that can provide the required accuracy and high-quality data compared to illumina platform. Currently, we have been using two Illumina Miseqs, one of them is more than eight years old and having multiple issues after the hardware and software upgrade. Thus, more reliable and the latest Nextseq1000 instrument is required to continue generating the high-quality sequencing data and prevent the loss of time and money because of the possible run failures associated with the instruments. In addition, this newly released instrument can produce more amount of data in comparison to the Miseq instruments and it has more flexibilities in selecting the sequencing kits.
