Understand multi-run distribution, the 4 cost sections, and how to read your results — with a worked example.
Read GuideCompare costs across platforms in Direct mode, or let the optimizer find the best configuration from your sequencer pool.
Read GuidePlan sequencing costs by read target rather than genome coverage — ideal for RNA-seq, amplicon, and multi-assay service labs.
Read GuidePlan PacBio HiFi and ONT runs — SMRT Cell economics, pore utilization, and coverage for assembly, phasing, and SV detection.
Read GuideLab Setup
Set up sequencers, build your cost library, and create cost profiles — in the right order.
