The “$1K”, 30X Whole Human Genome is now available for $1,400

HiSeq X Ten Sequencing Services now Available on Genohub

You can now order whole human genome sequencing (~30x coverage) on Genohub.com for $1,400 / sample ($1,550 with library prep). The Kinghorn Centre for Clinical Genomics is accepting orders for their HiSeq X Ten service through Genohub.com.  In fact, you can order this service today: https://genohub.com/shop-by-next-gen-sequencing-technology/#query=5a4399a2a2cab432b240d2426c708472

Designed for population scale human genome sequencing, the HiSeq X Ten when operating individually can output between 1.6-1.8 Tb on a dual flow cell in less than 3 days (600 Gb / day). When running 10 in parallel, tens of thousands of genomes can be sequenced in a single year. While currently Illumina has limited the HiSeq X Ten to human samples, we expect this will change in 2015. 

A single lane of HiSeq X Ten, gives you 750M paired end 2x 150 reads, for a total output of 112.5 Gb / lane. Kinghorn guarantees 100 Gb raw data per lane, with >75% of bases above Q30 at 2x150bp. With a haploid human genome size of 3.2 Gb, that’s equivalent to 30-35x  per lane of sequencing.  The $10 million price tag for the HiSeq X Ten means that not all institutes have access to such sequencing power. Genohub solves this problem by making it easy for researchers interested in next generation sequencing services to access all the latest sequencing technology. We also:

  1. Ensure your project with the provider goes smoothly
  2. Take care of billing and invoicing, making domestic & international ordering a breeze
  3. Have an easy to use project management interface to keep communication and information in one place
  4. Offer NGS project design and consultation
  5. Have competitive pricing and turnaround times
