Statement of Work: The USDA ARS NCCCWA requires 15x coverage of whole genome sequencing via Illumina HiSeq System of 96 rainbow trout samples and 96 Atlantic salmon samples (Genome size ~3Gb). Contractor shall provide all services, supplies, equipment and facilities necessary to provide sequencing of 192 genomic DNA samples (96 trout and 96 atlantic salmon) in accordance with the required performance elements and benchmarks. Schedule of Line Items: Line Item 01 - 192 (96 trout and 96 atlantic salmon) Samples $__________ Samples will be provided on or before dates specified in accordance with the following: 24 samples provided on or before September 30, 2017; 72 samples provided on or before December 15, 2017. 96 samples provided on or before March 1, 2018. Required performance elements and benchmarks: 1. Amount of DNA provided per sample will be a minimum of 2,000 ng of total rainbow trout or Atlantic salmon genome DNA. DNA sample QC included: Qubit; 2. Standard Illumina shotgun genomic DNA library preparation performed by the vendor (Insert size approximately 400bp-450bp). Library QC: qPCR; 3. Platform and configuration: Illumina HiSeq PE 150 cycles; 4. Read Length: 2 x 150 nucleotides (paired-end); 5. Data Output: An average of 45 Gbases of pass filter paired-end reads per sample/library (300M paired-end reads, which is 150M reads in each direction).
