Reasons to choose an NGS provider • Price • But be sensible as to how to judge price • Price should be judged on a full economic cost model • NGS sequencing can be thought of as multi component package – at the very least • Choice of biological material • Library construction • Sequencing • Base calling • Informatics • We need to start from the point of developing a clear view of what we are sequencing and why ? This should take account of not only the immediate aim of the work but also potential future value of the data

What are we sequencing and why ? • Is this a genome or transcriptome sequencing project ? The choice is not always a black and white one. • Have we thought clearly about how many and what genotypes and /or tissues we are going to sequence ? • Should we pool genotypes or tissues ? • Is the choice consistent with our primary aims ? i.e. Have we chosen genotypes to minimise ascertainment bias or are the developmental stages or tissues we want sufficiently represented • Have we thought about other uses for the data ? • Have we talked it thought with someone who actually knows the time of day
