What does the financial calculator option do?
It calculates the cost of performing a genotyping experiment given the number of samples and the number of SNPs included in a given study. QuickSNP automatically calculates an estimated cost for getting the genotyping done using Illumina BeadArray (http://www.illumina.com/) and Applied Biosystems TaqMan platforms (http://www.appliedbiosystems.com/). In addition, one can also enter the cost of genotyping (per SNP) from a different source, and the server will calculate the cost for the entire genotyping experiment for the given region and the number of samples.
