Its advantages are:

List item High data yields
List item Low price
List item Low error rate

Disadvantages:

List item Short reads
List item Not uniform coverage
List item The errors are not random

As this is the leading technology today, in Era7 Bionformatics we have a lot of experience analyzing data from Illumina sequencers and in designing many kind of sequencing projects involving Illumina platforms:

List item Metagenomics (Shot-Gun and 16S)
List item Genomics
List item RNA-seq
List item Exome
List item Other types of projects

There are several Illumina sequencer options:

List item MiSeq. A personal Sequencer
MiSeq. A personal Sequencer
