[IIGB_All] Your input is crucial

[Karine Le Roch]

Dear Katie and all,

I am a bit confused. I thought we already decided on the need for a illumina Nextseq2000 instrument. Is this in addition to what was decided in the past few months?

As a reminder, I also have a 10x Single cell instrument in my lab available to all. 

I know that the Genomics Core has many outdated instruments that need to be replace. So I am wondering if spending a lot of money in a single large instrument is a good strategy 

Best,

Karine
