Abstract
Erratum
After the publication of this work [1] the author noted there was an error in the
Outlook section under PromethION where it states:
The MinION allows individual laboratories to perform sequencing and subsequent biological
analyses, but there is a part of the research community that is interested in high-throughput
sequencing and genomics. Realizing this need, ONT has developed a bench-top instrument,
PromethION, that is projected to provide high-throughput and is modular in design.
Briefly, it will contain 48 flow cells that could be run individually or in parallel.
The PromethION flow cells contain 3000 channels each, and are projected to produce
up to 6 Tb of sequencing data each day. This equates to about 200 human genomes per
day at 30× coverage.
The last sentence should read: "This equates to over 60 human genomes per day at 30x
coverage."
We apologise for this error.
