CUSTOM SEQUENCING SOLUTIONS

Seattle Genomics, a service core at the University of Washington, offers next-generation sequencing and data analysis solutions.

The center is a component of the Washington National Primate Research Center and is operated by the Division of NHP Systems Biology in the Gale laboratory.

Services and Rates

We offer the following:

Illumina NextSeq 500

Single Cell isolation, barcoding & library prep

RNA library preparation and QC

Illumina MiSeq

Bioinformatics analysis and support

RNA Isolation and QC

The below costs are calculated using the pricing associated with payment using a UW budget with Federal Funds.

mRNA-seq

For example, for 20 samples to have RNA isolated from tissue, mRNA-Seq libraries constructed and sequenced on our NextSeq 500 using a high output 150 cycle (paired end 75bp), the total cost would be $TBD, which averages to $TBD per sample including taxes. This run will produce approximately 20 million reads per sample.

Total RNA-seq

For example, for 20 samples to have RNA isolated from tissue, Total RNA-Seq libraries constructed and sequenced on our NextSeq 500 using a high output 150 cycle (paired end 75bp), the total cost would be $TBD which averages to $TBD per sample including taxes. This run will produce approximately 40 million reads per sample.

Custom applications REQUIRE consultation to discuss project.

Note: we are in the process of updating our prices. Please contact us for pricing.

Data Analysis and Delivery

For file delivery and analysis, we offer multiple options to suit the specific needs of the end user.

A link will be provided to download all of the raw (FASTQ) files and QC summaries. This, as well as a summary of read and run QC is provided as part of the sequencing cost.
For customers desiring a more complex and comprehensive bioinformatics analysis and processing a free consultation up to 2 hours will be provided prior to any sample processing or sequencing. This consultation is mandatory for this type of analysis to ensure the numbers of samples and comparisons are adequate for the types of analysis desired

Analysis tier 1:

Mapping to a supplied genome/reference with or without annotation, and results in a delivery of a BAM/SAM file to the customer. This BAM/SAM file can then be used for the next steps of data processing and analysis.

Analysis tier 2:

Targeted to users without sufficient computing resources for data processing, but which have expertise and access to bioinformatics tools for downstream functional analysis and interpretation. For RNA-seq data, raw data matrix as well as differential expression analysis will be provided to the user. For host or pathogen genetic analysis, alignments and variant files will be provided. Users will be responsible for downstream analysis.

Analysis tier 3:

Targeted to users without sufficient computing or expertise in downstream analysis and interpretation. These interactions will be more collaborative in nature. We will consult with the user to define a plan that will include any required aspects of a project, from library preparation to downstream analysis. For RNA-seq, the user will be provided with transcript quantification and the raw data matrix as well as functional analysis based upon their specific biological questions. If necessary, we will also provide de novo assembly of transcriptome or virus genome where a specified reference is not available.

Pricing (up to 24 samples):

Hourly Rates: $TBD / hour (Internal, Federal) or $TBD / hour (Internal, Non-Federal). Please contact us for external rates.

Analysis Tier 1: 30 hours.
Analysis Tier 2: 50 hours.
Analysis Tier 3: This will require a custom price quote. There would be a minimum of 90 hours charged.
