Pricing
The Bioinformatics and System Biology Core offers the initial consultation for free. The services required will be discussed during the initial consultation phase. The time required for the service will be estimated during the first consultation. For each project, a cost center number should be provided before we initiate the work.

Notes:
- The rates mentioned above are a subsidized rate for the services provided to UNMC investigators.
- The rates for other academic institutions and corporations are 1.5X and 2X the mentioned rate respectively.
- For RNA-seq and metagenomics statistical comparisons, the N (sample size)/three comparisons are included in the sample-size based quote. More comparisons will be charged by 0.5 hour per comparison.
- Additional samples should be a part of the same batch and aligned to the same reference genome. If the batch has more than 12 samples, but needs to be aligned to the different reference genomes, it is charged at a regular rate.
