Sequencing platforms and alignments.
Technical specifications differ between the sequencing platforms.
The Illumina HiSeq is currently, beside other sequencing platforms, widely-used for WGS.
In addition, the cost model must allow different kinds of sequencing platforms and sensitivity analyses.
Costs per Mb for the application of the sequencing platforms differ.
All five studies (see Table 1) compared cost data for the use of different sequencing platforms.
Technical adjustments to the sequencing platforms, such as coverage, differ between the included studies as well.
With the development of next-generation sequencing platforms, the production of sequence data is increasing.
In recent years three different high throughput DNA sequencing platforms have been developed [40].
High-throughput sequencing platforms generally require the addition of adapters to the ends of DNA fragments.
Capillary separation was performed on AB3730xl sequencing platforms at the Australian Genome Research Facility.
