They've stated in one of th...Great post, Keith. They've stated in one of the GenomeWeb articles that the system cost is ~10% below that of a GAIIx, which would put it at about $270k. The operating cost (on a per Gb basis) appears to be less than 2/3rd that of the HiSeq2000. A $2550 run (reagents/flow cell only) should produce 132 Gb of data, or a little over $19/Gb. Assuming 30X coverage, this gets the human resequencing reagent cost down to under $1800. A $20k HiSeq2000 run should produce 600Gb, or $33/Gb (or $3k for a human genome). However, the 132 Gb run for the MAX-Seq assumes a PE run (which their literature states is possible with the bead method).<br /><br />I think the biggest challenge (as you've pointed out) will be for this team of companies to provide a seamless user experience and a high level of professional support.<br /><br />FYI, I've placed a summary of the MAX-Seq over on the BlueSEQ NGS Knowledge Bank (http://knowledgebank.blueseq.com/intelligent-biosystems/)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08590569202982138251noreply@blogger.com
