Samples & scale
A handful of samples and a cohort of hundreds are different problems. Compute, QC, and interpretation all scale.
Pricing
Transparent by design
Individual and university pricing is public. Institutional work is scoped and quoted—never assumed. Every project begins with a written scope you approve before anything starts, so the number you see is the number you pay.

Listed figures are starting prices. Your quote depends on the scope of your project—see what shapes it below.
What Shapes a Quote
Why analysis isn't one price
Cost tracks the work involved. These are the factors that move a quote up or down—we'll walk through them with you before committing to anything.
Data type & complexity
Bulk RNA-seq is well-trodden. Single-cell, spatial, long-read, and multi-omic integration take more work.
Reference availability
A well-annotated reference genome simplifies everything. Non-model organisms may need assembly first.
Method development
Standard pipelines cost less than bespoke methods, custom tooling, or pipelines built to your specification.
Depth of interpretation
A results table is one thing; biological interpretation, prioritisation, and figure-by-figure narrative is another.
Publication support
Methods writing, publication-quality figures, data deposition, and reviewer responses can be added to any project.
Scope
What every project includes—and what it doesn't
Being clear about the boundary is part of being transparent about price.
Always included
- A written scope, agreed before any work begins
- The analysis itself, run on established, peer-reviewed tools
- Results with publication-quality figures and tables
- Reproducible methods listing every tool and version
- Email support through agreed revisions
Never included
- Sequencing, wet-lab work, or sample handling—we don't do these
- Clinical diagnosis or reporting; we are not a diagnostic laboratory
- Ghostwriting or authorship—the credit stays with your team
- Guaranteed publication, acceptance, or a particular result
- Hidden fees; if the scope changes, we re-quote before proceeding
Work starts once your data exists—we're a computational team, so raw reads, matrices, structures, or assay data from your core facility or a public repository are the starting point. If your study is still being designed, that's a consultation, not a quote, and it's the cheapest hour you'll spend. We would rather tell you a project won't answer your question than take payment for an analysis that can't.
FAQ
Pricing questions
What researchers and project leads most often ask about cost and scope.
Because analysis cost scales with the work involved. A small standard pipeline on a handful of samples sits near the starting figure; a large cohort, a non-model organism, a bespoke method, or heavy interpretation costs more. Publishing a starting price and scoping the rest is more honest than a fixed number that quietly excludes what you actually need.
Mainly: the number of samples, the data type and its complexity, whether a reference genome exists, how much bespoke method development is required, the depth of interpretation you need, and whether you want manuscript or figure support. Deadlines can matter too.
A written scope agreed before work starts, the analysis itself, results with figures and tables, and reproducible methods documenting every tool and version. You always receive enough to reproduce and report the work.
We do computational analysis only. Sequencing, wet-lab work, and sample handling are not included and we do not perform them. We are not a clinical diagnostic laboratory, and we do not ghostwrite manuscripts or accept authorship — the science and the credit stay with your team.
No. Scoping a project and telling you honestly whether we are the right fit — including when a different design, or no analysis at all, would serve you better — happens before any commitment.
They are scoped and quoted individually rather than priced from a list, usually under a formal statement of work and an NDA, with a dedicated project lead. Multi-phase programs are supported.
