Hi All,
I am looking to outsource the sequencing, assembly and annotation of a relatively small (~150mb) eukaryotic genome.
I've seen lots of posts here about sequencing strategies and costs. But what is the reasonable end product to expect from a sequencing facility? Will it be a fasta file? Annotated, complete chromosomes (I realize this is unlikely)? A gff file?
Does anyone have experience outsourcing all of this, and if so can you tell me what you got in the end?
Of course, any recommendations of stellar sequencing facilities are welcome too!
Thanks.
