Interestingly they say Q20 >90%, Q30 >80%, on 100bp reads. That’s much higher than I’ve seen reported for prior Complete/BGI datasets. Recently lower error rates have been reported, but I’m surprised to see them this low. If this is true, it’s comparable to the error rates on Illuminas older instruments (the GA1s and 2s at least, if not Hiseqs). Q20 is one error in 100. Q30, one error in 1000. I think Illumina average error rate (Novaseq) is >Q30 now. Veritas Genetics were also offering a 200USD genome a while back. I think that was Illumina sequencing, but it was a very limited time offer. |

Yes, that was on Monday Nov 19th. Veritas offered 1,000 genomes (Illuminca sequencing) at USD 200. They sold out in 6 hours.
