    Basic Coverage Calculation Questions

    For the sequencing technologies ABI 3730, 454, Illumina, and PacBio, what would the number of reads be to ensure 99.995% coverage of the human genome under this model.
    From there for each technology, how would I also estimate the total cost of this sequencing?

    Please help. what i have so far is below:


    L= read lengths
    ABI = 800,454: 700
    Illumina= 300
    PacBio= 500
    N= # of bases sequenced = ?
    C= 10
    e=2.718
    = c= LN/G
    G= 3.2
    10=?/3.2b
    3.2bx10=32 reads necessary in order to ensure 99.9995% coverage of human genome.

    Thanks so much in advance!

    Sounds like someone's Lander-Waterman homework?

        16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
        by SEQadmin2





        NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification,...

        Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
        by SEQadmin2



        Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

        Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating
