Can you explain what you mean by a single MiSeq lane? Our lab has Life

Sorry, I meant HiSeq lane of course, not MiSeq (the MiSeq flowcell is essentially a single lane). But even a Miseq should be able to multiplex four bacterial genomes or so on a single cell.

The HiSeq does two flowcells per run, with 8 lanes per cell. Mick Watson has a good analysis here:

The rapid-run mode of the HiSeq 2500 is perfectly capable of producing 150 million 150bp paired-end reads. This equates to 45Gb of sequence data.

If we are sequencing 5Mb genomes, at 40X, we need 200Mb of sequence. 96 of those will therefore need ~20Gb of sequence, so as you see, a single lane of HiSeq 2500 easily copes.

ARK-Genomics runs a non-profit full cost recovery business model, which means we charge for reagents, staff time and equipment. So for that lane of sequencing, we would probably charge in the region of £2500.

We need to factor in the cost of libraries. In reality, we could make this cheaper via automation, but for the sake of ease, let's say the library prep is £100 per sample. That's £9600 on library prep.

That's a total of £12100, or £126 per genome.

In reality, I think we could get library prep down to £50 per sample, This would bring the cost down to £76 per genome.

Given that that was written in 2013 and I'd expect costs have gone down slightly since, you can probably translate £ to $ and not be all too far off. But even at £126 per genome, that'd be only $190 for a de novo sequenced bacterial genome, library prep included. That's an 
awesome deal, provided we can find a supplier that is offering that kind of service to us DIYbio folks!
