Illumina recently announced the HiSeq X Ten, the platform they say will deliver the long-awaited $1000 genome. But what are the assumptions behind that price calculation and are they realistic? There is at least a 1000-fold range in the current price/Gb across the various next generation sequencing platforms, but comparing platforms on this metric alone can be very misleading. This presentation will examine the latest industry announcements around price and performance and place them in the context of the longer-term industry trends. It will finish up with a peek at some of the technologies on the horizon.
