Heckles should always be raised whenever a scientist hears something from a science-led company that sounds like bad science
People who have been hanging around the nextgeneration sequencing scene in the last five years or so were crumpling their noses at this news as everything about it smelled fishy, not just the special properties of human DNA bit
Let’s look at why this machine only sequences human DNA - it’s because the conditions of purchase require that you only use it for human DNA
Summary
Heckles should always be raised whenever a scientist hears something from a science-led company that sounds like bad science. It is not optimized for human DNA, Illumina just don’t want you to use it for anything else. All of this is aimed at engineering market separation between human genome sequence production and everyone else.
