Jurgen Eils, Head, German Cancer Research Centre

The DKFZ is the leading clinical sequencing center in Europe, equipped with Illumina Hiseq and X Ten sequencing machines and 18.000 TB data storage capacity. The introduction of the new Illumina X-Ten technology enables the 1000$ genome even now and at the same time will increase the data throughput by a factor of 10.
