Long Single Reads

A GS FLX Titanium series sequencing run generates more than 1,000,000 single reads with an average read length of 400 bases. Highly versatile, these single long reads can be applied to almost every application, and open the full spectrum of genomic variation to analysis. Whether the targets are SNPs, insertions or deletions, novel genes or genomic regions, long single reads enable you to investigate the entire genome more completely.
