Excuse my inexperience please, I'm starting as a new prof at Montana State
this year. In shopping for a sequencer for my new lab I am looking at the Ion
Proton machine from LT. It is in early release and can do about 2 whole
genomes at 5x coverage in a single run 10GB of data for $1000- rough estimate
because I don't have the numbers in front of me. They say the next chip will
do 100GB also for $1000. That would be about 6 genomes for $1000 in a single
day run. I think it is a real viable alternative if you have the ability to
process that amount of data.
