Illumina HiSeq
Hybridization Capture
Amplicon Capture
Illumina MiSeq
10 – 100s of genes
Advantage: lowest input DNA
requirement
Disadvantages: poorly suited to
detection of copy number changes and
rearrangements
100s to 20,000 genes
Advantage: better suited to detection of
copy number changes and
rearrangements , more sensitive
Disadvantages: higher input DNA
requirement
Ion Torrent PGM
