The examples on this page are approximate prices, and are shown here to provide a rough estimate of how much your project will cost. For more detailed information or to request a quote, please contact us.
Our “best practice” bioinformatics package which may be included in some of our services (e.g. RNA-seq, resequencing and de novo assembly) is free of charge. We also do not charge for project planning or follow-up meetings with NGI representatives.
NGI provides very generous pricing for Swedish academia. Instrument depreciations, part of instrument service, rent and labour costs are sponsored by the Swedish Research Council (Vetenskapsrådet) and SciLifeLab. Academic institutions outside of Sweden and users from industry pay the full cost (please contact us for a full-cost price quote). The price estimates on this page are valid only for Swedish academia.
Other methods (e.g. non-validated library preparation types) are available. Please contact us for further information.
Library preparation for RNA-seq
Please note that these prices do not include the cost of sequencing.
Please note that the RiboZero library preparation method is only available for certain species, contact us if your samples are not mammalian.
Library preparations for DNA
Please note that these prices do not include the cost of sequencing.
Please note that the Nextera Flex noQC and RADseq are only run in full plates.
Cost for standard RNA-seq
The total cost for library preparation and sequencing depends on the number of samples and the sequencing depth. A general setup, with e.g. 24-96 samples and ~25 million read-pairs/sample, will likely cost approx 2000-3000 SEK/sample (incl. library preparation and sequencing on Illumina NovaSeq).
Cost for whole-genome re-sequencing (WGS, human genome)
The cost for library preparation and sequencing of a human (or similar size) DNA sample prepared by NGI using the Illumina TruSeq DNA PCR-free library prep kit and sequencing on Illumina NovaSeq S4-300 (2×150 bp) to approximately 30x coverage is approx. 8 000 SEK total/sample. Price includes best-practice bioinformatics analysis (currently only available for human genome).
Please contact us if you need help calculating cost and sequencing requirements for other coverages or genome sizes.
