Pig Genome Update No. 92angenmap@animalgenome.orgSeptember 1, 2008 |
Illumina and the International Porcine SNP Chip Consortium are pleased to announce that we will soon have a preliminary 60K SNP panel and additional content information available for anyone interested. If you are interested in receiving this list and/or additional content information, please contact Martien Groenen and Marylinn Munson mmunson@illumina.com and Martien.Groenen@wur.nl. Again, the deadline to participate in the early access and pricing discounts to 5 pm Pacific Time September 5, 2008. After 5th Sept, early access and pricing will not be available. Don't miss out on this opportunity!! Based on total current known order commitments worldwide, we estimate the price of the final array will be Tier B. However if all committed orders come in + another 1, 000 samples, the consortium will likely achieve Tier C pricing. The prices per sample for tier B are as product $120 (USD) and as service $192 (USD) and for Tier C $99.99 as product and $160 as service. These includes arrays and Illumina related reagents. Pricing does not include shipping, taxes, insurance or duties. To achieve Tier B or C pricing, all Qualifying Orders must be received by Illumina before 5th September and meet minimum required orders. If those individuals who do not have a system, Illumina provides Genotyping Services known as FastTrack Services. Additionally, there are many service providers that can provide Infinium genotyping services. Service Providers must meet the September deadline for placing orders. Some of these providers are able to provide Infinium services for fewer samples than Illumina's 282 sample minimum. Illumina Certified Service Providers (with Infinium Genotyping certification) can be found at (http://www.illumina.com/pagesnrn.ilmn?ID=69). Illumina would also be happy to provide additional names upon request.Please do not hesitate to contact Illumina for further information or questions at (http://www.illumina.com/contactMe.ilmn?CS=1). (kindly provided by Marylinn Munson Illumina).
Sequencing progress continues on schedule. Sequencing of the pig genome continues on schedule with completion expected in 2009. To date (August 27, 2008) sequencing is at 71% sequence coverage and 92% tile path coverage (kindly provided by Richard Clark, Sanger).Items for Pig Genome Update 93 can be sent to me by no later than October 15 please.
