Preprint by the platform developer; the abstract gives cost per gigabase, not per genome. The finding below is derived, see its conditions.

Findings

Cost per human genome: 90 USD

Derived, not stated in the abstract: 1 USD per Gb times 30-fold coverage of a 3 Gb human genome (3,000 Mb and 30-fold coverage are the assumptions NHGRI uses for Illumina-type platforms, see wetterstrand2023dna). Cost basis of the 1 USD/Gb figure is not defined in the abstract.

at a low cost of $1/Gb
