Hi guys, Thank you so much for this project and for the invaluable amount of work you do and have done! I admire your efforts, and hope that my question won't be interpreted as negative. I was mostly purely wondering how much it costs to sequence 1 kakapo's genome? Is it the same procedure as with humans? What techniques are used? I haven't done my background reading, but have in the past, glanced at genome-sequencing companies like Illumina, Hi Seq X, 23 and me - who claim they can produce relevant results at a cheap price - but maybe those aren't options with the kakapos?
