NGS Field Guide – Overview

The tables presented in Glenn (2011) are split and updated in the following:

• Table 1a-c.  "Grades" for common applications on various NGS instruments.  Other information from the original table 1 is relatively static.
• Table 2a.  Run time, Millions of reads/run, Bases/read, and Yield/run for all common commercial NGS platforms.
• Table 2b. Reagent costs/run, reagent costs/Mb, and minimum commercially available units for all common commercial NGS platforms.
• Table 3a. List purchase price for for all common commercial NGS platforms, ancillary equipment, and service contracts.
• Table 3b. Computational resources required for all common commercial NGS platforms.
• Table 3c. Errors and error rates for common commercial NGS platforms.
• Table 4.  Advantages and Disadvantages for all common commercial NGS platforms.
