Illumina Sequencing
There are two options for sequencing. The older GAII sequencers typically yield 20-30 million reads per lane. The new HiSeq typically yields 70-100 million reads per lane. Prices include sample quality control for one sample and basic data processing including base calls, quality scores and alignment. Sequencing pricing based on 7 samples per flow cell plus a control lane.
