Dear all, I'm trying to get a view of a full economics cost for a library prep for the Illumina GA. I certainly know that there is different commercial kits out there but I was wondering what you estimate/calculate for additional purification steps (not included in the kits), for size selection and for overhead? Thanks. Tom

what type of library do you want? DNA, mRNA, etc... -
I'm talking fragmented DNA only. No CHIP or RNA....Comment

it is about $225 per sample for >10 preps, using NEB kit and a few bioanalyzer runs, plus adapters/primers from IDT or wherever..Comment

Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.
The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
