Re: [DIYbio] Comprehensive Genome Project or Feasibility Thereof

Sequencing all species on earth would cost more than 500 million dollars unless I'm missing something

De novo is harder and more costly than resequencing, but not AFAIK by a factor of ten. So it seems Cory may be close to the mark, but the actual cost becomes person-hours, because de-novo certainly requires more *work*, and that's before you discuss assembly.

Nanopore may be just the ticket: extremely long, fast reads potentially in the field. Perfect for low-pass firehose sequence generation.

Sequencing won't be that low for de novo sequencing of species I guess (?)
