Illumina NovaSeq X Series page: "Affordably analyze whole genomes: Expand whole-genome sequencing (WGS) in your lab with the $200 USD genome". Footnote: "$200 USD genome on NovaSeq X Series is delivered at list price on the 25B flow cell (sequencing consumables only), assuming 100 Gb/genome." Library prep, labour and analysis are not in the $200.Rank 04 of 4

Evidence
PacBio Revio brochure: "Affordability ~$345 human HiFi genome". Footnote: "$345 per human HiFi 20X genome assumes US list price of $690 for sequencing reagents for one Revio acquisition, which has an expected yield of 120 Gb, equivalent to two 20x human genomes." HiFi long-read chemistry, so the product is not interchangeable with the short-read Ultima/Illumina rows; the locked metric is still vendor-advertised consumable $/genome.Try another pair
