Summary

Story summary

NovaSeq X Series shows 6× fewer single-nucleotide variant errors and 22× fewer indel errors than Ultima Genomics' UG 100 in whole-genome sequencing.
UG 100 excludes 4.2% of the genome, reducing coverage in BRCA1 and FMR1.
NovaSeq X Series provides full genome coverage, including hard regions, with more accurate calls.
Illumina's 27-year expertise positions it as a leader in sequencing.
