Next generation sequencing review

Tag: Technology — rforsberg @ 1:53 pm

In the new issue of Trends in Genetics, Elaine R. Mardis gives a nice review of the currently operating NGS technologies, their applications and their potential impact on the field of genetics.

As an interesting aside, Mardis quotes her estimate of the cost per mega base of the three commercial systems out:

  • 454 - 84.4$
  • Solexa - 5.97$
  • SOLiD - 5.81$
