The HiSeq X Five and HiSeq X Ten Systems have been discontinued. We intend to continue to provide full support of the instruments and supply the reagents through March 31st, 2024. To find an alternative instrument, we recommend using the Sequencing Platform Comparison Tool.
HiSeq X Applications and Methods
Key Applications and Methods
With incredible speed and throughput, the HiSeq X Ten System was purpose-built for population-scale whole-genome sequencing (WGS). The HiSeq X Ten empowers scientists, institutions, and nations with the ability to create a comprehensive catalog of human and species variation, forge population-based references, drive far-reaching discoveries, and advance our understanding of biology and human genetic disease.

Estimated Cost Per Human Genome: $1000* at 18,000 genomes per year
*When used at scale, the HiSeq X Ten delivers a $1000 human 30x coverage genome, inclusive of instrument depreciation, DNA extraction, library preparation, and estimated labor for a typical high-throughput genomics laboratory. Calculated in 2014.
Apply population-scale whole-genome sequencing (WGS) to non-human species. The HiSeq X Series delivers high coverage in a variety of areas, including agriculture and model organism research in the pharmaceutical industry.
Sequencing large complex genomes provides a base-by-base view of genomic alterations to inform studies of disease or population genomics.
