Question 7 1 pts

In general, what best describes the relationship between depth of coverage and cost (i.e. reagents, time, etc)? Model as cost = f(coverage) with cost on the Y axis and coverage on the X axis.

Group of answer choices

Decreasing curve, initially expensive then cheaper and cheaper.

Rising curve with diminishing returns, eventually flattening out.

Linearly increasing curve with costs rising as coverage increases.

Depends on the system and cannot be generalized

Flag question: Question 8

Question 8 1 pts

In general, what best describes the relationship between depth of coverage and derived information (e.g. SNPs and other polymorphisms called)? Model as info = f(coverage) with info on the Y axis and coverage on the X axis.

Group of answer choices

Logarithmic curve, with decreasing yield for added coverage

Linearly increasing curve, with more information added with additional coverage

Decreasing curve, with additional coverage only improving accuracy

Depends on the system and cannot be generalized
