Comparison of NGS technologies

[rmagno]

Hi All

This is my first post!

I am trying to get my head around the various RNA-sequencing platforms so I thought of doing a comprehensive comparison of existing technologies. Do you know whether this has been done recently (last year)?

Could you help me collect the relevant variables for these comparisons? Some of these variables from the top of my head would be:

- Depth
- Read per run
- Accuracy (single read not consensus)
- Minimum starting material requirements
- Read length
- Amplification steps involved
- Multiplexity
- Fixed costs
- Running costs (Cost per 1 million bases)
- Sensitivity/Limit of detection


Maybe we could make a nice matrix with all these variables/criteria as columns and different technologies as rows to have a nice comparison matrix.

This page should help with most of the questions.

Also this page.

Thanks!, I am going to take a look at those webpages.
