Sequencing cost data comes from [NHGRI DNA sequencing costs](https://www.genome.gov/about-genomics/fact-sheets/DNA-Sequencing-Costs-Data). It also contains data for the growth of sequence data in SRA, with data from [SRA stats](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Traces/sra/sra_stat.cgi).\n\n## Motivation\n\nI like to use these plots showing the rapid decrease in sequencing costs in lectures and presentations, or the rapid growth of available sequences, but it was a challenge to keep the plots up-to-date. The plots and data provided directly from NHGRI was not amenable to be permanently linked in a lecture that would auto update, because URLs would change, new plots would be produced rather than updating old links with new data, etc. To make it more useful, I needed a stable URL for data and visualization. So, I made one and put it here so that anyone can update the data. I have simply reformatted the data to make it more FAIR; instead of an excel spreadsheet and an graphical image, I provide an API to access the data, and a vega-lite dynamic plot that just retrieves that data. This, hosted in a persistent spot, makes it possible to produce presentations that are always automatically up-to-date.\n\n## Use\n\nYou can get the raw CSV data at:\n- Costs: [https://databio.org/seqcosts/data/sequencing_cost.csv](https://databio.org/seqcosts/data/sequencing_cost.csv).\n- SRA content: [https://databio.org/seqcosts/data/sra_stat.csv](https://databio.org/seqcosts/data/sra_stat.csv).\n\n## View\n\nYou can view corresponding vega-lite visualizations at:\n- Costs: [https://databio.org/seqcosts/cost.html](https://databio.org/seqcosts/cost.html).\n- SRA data: [https://databio.org/seqcosts/sra.html](https://databio.org/seqcosts/sra.html).\n\n## Embed\n\nIf you want to use the plot in a presentation or web page, you have two options\n\n### Use javascript directly\n\nYou can look at how I embedded it in the html pages above and just do something similar to use the underlying data however you want.\n\n### Use an iframe.\n\nYou can embed the HTML page using an `\u003ciframe\u003e` like this:\n\n```\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://databio.org/seqcosts/sra.html\" width=\"950\" height=\"550\"\u003e\u003c/iframe\u003e\n\u003ca style=\"font-size:0.6em\" href=\"https://databio.org/seqcosts\"\u003edatabio.org/seqcosts\u003c/a\u003e\n```\n\n## Update\n\nIf you use this and notice it's not updated, please add any new rows to `data/sequencing_costs.csv` via Pull Request.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdatabio%2Fseqcosts","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fdatabio%2Fseqcosts","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdatabio%2Fseqcosts/lists"}
