How much does HiFi sequencing cost?

The cost gap between long-read and short-read sequencing has narrowed significantly. 

Human whole genome sequencing (20× coverage)
~$345 per human genome on the Revio system with SPRQ-Nx chemistry, using as little as 500 ng input. 

Transcriptomics (isoform-level analysis)
Typically a few hundred dollars per sample, delivering full-length isoform resolution—not just gene-level counts. 

Microbial genomes
Often tens of dollars per sample, yielding reference-grade closed genomes plus methylation data. 

Full-length 16S and amplicons
Per-sample costs can drop to just a few dollars while achieving species- and strain-level resolution. 

With the Vega benchtop system, HiFi long reads are also accessible in-house for individual labs.
