How many reads do I need? What’s my sequencing depth? These are common questions I get all the time. Calculating how much sequence data you need to hit a target depth of coverage, or the inverse, what’s the coverage depth given a set amount of sequencing, are both easy to answer with some basic algebra. Given one or the other, plus the genome...

Some of the blogs or Twitter accounts I mentioned have shifted focus or haven’t been updated in years (guilty as charged). The way we consume media has evolved — Google thoug...
