The NovaSeq X Plus can sequence 20,000 genomes per year, a significant improvement compared to Illumina's previous machines, which could only process 7,500 genomes annually and generate up to 16 Tb of data in a single run.
In September 2022, Illumina introduced the NovaSeq X and NovaSeq X Plus, claiming that these new systems reduced the cost of sequencing a complete human genome to $200. The NovaSeq X Plus can sequence 20,000 genomes per year, a significant improvement compared to Illumina's previous machines, which could only process 7,500 genomes annually and generate up to 16 Tb of data in a single run.
