Abstract For the advancement of Human Genome Project, we have developed an automated DNA sequencing system ‘HUGA-I.’ It is composed of several automated instruments and transfer robots connecting them. In this paper we describe the results of the performance evaluation test of HUGA-I. Although some of the system units showed good performances, the total performance of the HUGA-I was about 1/6 of the designed value. By revealing principal reasons of this poor performance, we would like to contribute to the automation in genome analysis, particularly in human genome analysis.
