Table 1 Estimated cost and time requirements for typing of the BRCA1 gene by direct sequencing vs SNP array
From: "Sequencing-grade" screening for BRCA1 variants by oligo-arrays
| Â | Consumables supplies | Equipment | Personnel | cost/react | Total Cost/sample BRCA1 gene (35 fragment) | Time | Time/20 samples |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Direct sequencing | $11.30 | $7.30 | $10.08 | $28.68 | $1,003.80 | approx 2 working days | approx 20 working days |
SNP array | $38.74 | $12.50 | $8.30 | $59.54 | $59.54 | less than 3 working days | less than 3 working days |
