Everyone I know (admittedly small sample size) is still paying around $2000-3000 for 30x WGS. Does the $1000 genome actually exist, or is this just pure PR on Illumina's part? What is BGI charging nowadays?
- aroch 11y agoIf you own your own Illumina, you can arguably get everything done for ~$1200-1400 with current chemistry, which gets better and cheaper with each iteration. We've also tested Oxford Nanopore's minION, which has probably the best chances of truly cheap sequencing bit that comes at the expense of accuracy.
