Many factors come into play when considering the purchase of a sequencing machine: machine cost; reagent cost; and sometimes compute cost. Many times the machine's utilization rate is not factored into the decision. This failure to objectively determine the true cost per run often leads to a gross misallocation of resources.
Average Total Cost is distinct from price and the variable cost. ATC...

Hello Everyone,
We have been quiet while we have had our head down transitioning from a company with 2 sequencing platforms to a company with 4 sequencing platforms. That time has now passed. We don’t usually have posts focused on platforms as Cofactor has always been platform agnostic in order to match our platforms to each individual project. Also, platform posts are often akin to a craftsman...

The January 2011 Nature Methods highlights next-generation sequencing (NGS) de-novo assembly and establishes expectations for the products of short read assemblers in both the editorial by Ewan Birney (whose name is synonymous with computational biology) and an article coming from the Eichler Lab (a lab largely focused on studying genomic structural evolution).
The group's focus was the recent...
