Minimal sequencing lab

We would like to set up a small lab to do RNA-seq as we are continuously outsourcing sequencing on big number of samples, and this might not be economical in the long run. We also see some advantages (and difficulties!) derived from doing sequencing in-house. So far, we just have a quite strong bioinformatics core.

We will start small, with a MiSeq or equivalent, and then scale up if we are successful. (I am fully aware that the capacity of a MiSeq only allows for running a total RNA-seq experiment at a time.)

What are the purchasing and running costs associated to an NGS lab in your experience?

I think this is off-topic, this is a general bioinformatics site, as far as sequencing is concerned, this would fit better on seqanswers.

Hello gammel.holte!

We believe that this post does not fit the main topic of this site.

This would be a better fit for seqanswers, as it is a 'pure lab' question with weak relation to bioinformatics.

For this reason we have closed your question. This allows us to keep the site focused on the topics that the community can help with.

If you disagree please tell us why in a reply below, we'll be happy to talk about it.

Cheers!
