A breakdown of WGS pricing by depth, platform, and deliverable, from $200 research-core genomes to $5,000 clinical reports, plus the downstream storage and compute costs nobody quotes.
List prices for SomaScan 7K and 11K at core facilities run $800–900 per sample before shipping, plate minimums, and analysis. Here is where that money goes, how the assay works, and how to decide between SomaScan, Olink Reveal, and a targeted panel.
A price breakdown of array genotyping, panels, exomes, and whole genomes, what each price includes, and what you get back as files.
Consumer 30x WGS runs $300-600, clinical CLIA-reported WGS runs roughly $1,000-3,000 out of pocket, and the difference is depth, deliverables, and interpretation rather than sequencing chemistry. Here is how to read a price and verify what you received.
