Latest High Thoughput Figures

Question

[Andrea_Bio]

Hello

Can anyone please advise the best source of data for next gen sequencing figures. For example how do i find out for the different platforms ( 454 Sequencer, Solexa/Illumina and ABI Solid):

-the number of bases per run
-the cost to sequence a base
-the current doubling time for sequencing

I need the source of these figures to be reliable enough to quote in a paper.

I see figures like these all over the place in journals but there is rarely a source of the data and I would like to be able to be able to attach a definite date to any figures.

I've already seen this great post on this forum about diminishing sequencing costs

thanks a lot

thanks - what is the date associated with those figures?

[Andrea_Bio]

perhaps i'm being a bit stupid as I've never used a sequencing machine but those figures don't add up. Take the first column: a runtime of 0.42 days and a yield of 0.035 GB does not give a rate of 0.2 GB/day?

looks like it should be row7/row6 - avilella is the one to contact about that

[Andrea_Bio]

what or who is avilella?
