The real cost of sequencing: higher than you think!

Genome Biol. 2011 Aug 25;12(8):125. doi: 10.1186/gb-2011-12-8-125.

Abstract

Advances in sequencing technology have led to a sharp decrease in the cost of 'data generation'. But is this sufficient to ensure cost-effective and efficient 'knowledge generation'?
