    Cost per base decrease over the last few years

    Working on a case study for B-School. Since price for most testing has decreased at certain output levels, I was hoping the community might be able to provide me with some historical context

    For providers who have had a hiseq for the last few years, probably added one or a few. How much has your cost per base decreased since the first runs of the HiSeq?

    Also, If you bought the machine in 2011 what did you pay?
    Thanks in advance for any feedback!

    The NIH has a lovely cost per genome graph, if you weren't already aware of it
    The Cost of Sequencing a Human Genome

    Estimated cost of sequencing the human genome over time since the Human Genome Project.

    You can of course convert from per genome to per base if you so desire.

      Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
      by SEQadmin2


      I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

      Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...

      From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
      by SEQadmin2


      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.
