Sample Pricing

Prices for individual projects will depend on the size and demands of the project, including the need for designing custom solutions. While we cannot estimate the needs for each type of analysis, some examples are listed below. Please contact us for a more specific solution and pricing for your project. If you are preparing a grant proposal, please allow at least one week for a custom quote and to discuss your specific needs and analyses.

Prices for experiments with <40 million or >100 million reads per sample will vary.


Prices apply to basic RNA-seq analyses with 40-100 million reads per sample. A basic RNA-seq analysis involves read mapping and quality control, transcript assembly and quantification, and computation of differential expression for all genes.

Prices for analyses including up to 2 comparisons.
Additional costs per comparison apply to comparisons beyond the two included.


Prices apply to basic 16S rRNA analyses with up to two comparisons. A basic 16S rRNA analysis includes read quality control, OTU assignment, calculation of α and β (PCA) diversity values, and differential taxa analysis, using the QIIME2 and MetaStats packages with the GreenGenes database. Additional costs apply to changes in protocol, and for each additional comparison. For example, an analysis to determine differential taxa in a group of patients before and after treatment includes one comparison. An analysis of patient data before and after treatment, differentiated by the type of treatment, includes two comparisons. An analysis of patient data before and after treatment, separately by type of treatment, and differentiated by gender, entails three comparisons.
