The Pricing Calculator window enables you to estimate the total pricing of your custom enrichment project. Additionally, the tool provides a recommendation of the sequencing consumables you will need to perform the entire project (for example, all samples that will be enriched). Your price may vary based on a number of factors. Open the Pricing Calculator window with the Price Calculator button while defining project content or as you are preparing to order your design.
Field/Button |
Description |
%OF BASES COVERED IN REGIONS: AT: COVERAGE DESIRED IN X |
The number of bases you select at a specified sequencing depth. When you select a higher percentage of bases, more sequencing will be required. 95% is the maximum value. |
AVERAGE REGION SIZE |
The average length of target regions in base pairs. |
CALCULATE/RECALCULATE (button) |
Calculates your total project pricing based on the variables you have selected. |
CLUSTERING |
Available only for the Genome Analyzer Platform. Choose between the cBot or Cluster Station. |
LIBRARY SIZE (BP) |
The length of the genomic DNA insert plus sequencing adapters. Average length is the mean as estimated by Agilent Bioanalyzer. |
MULTIPLEXING |
Enables pooling of DNA libraries prior to enrichment pulldown. Pricing is currently based on 12-plex pre-enrichment sample pooling. |
MULTIPLEXING LEVEL |
The number of discrete DNA libraries pooled together prior to enrichment. The recommended default is currently 12. |
NUMBER OF REGIONS |
A region is a continuous region of DNA of interest. In the case of a gene, this may be the number of exons within a gene. |
NUMBER OF SAMPLES |
The number of DNA libraries to be enriched. |
PAIRED END READS |
Using paired end reads is typically most efficient and cost effective. For small projects, such as those that are < 1 Mb in cumulative sequence, it may be suitable to perform single reads. |
PLATFORM |
The Illumina sequencing platform that will be used for analysis. |
READ LENGTH |
The read length at which you intend to run on the sequencer. |
