Adopt with guardrails
- Why
- NovaSeq X Plus is the dominant, mature, still-shipping production sequencing platform underpinning most of today's genomics ecosystem, with real-world costs (~$150-200/genome) matching its marketing claims per independent peer-reviewed use -- but recent (2026) independent benchmarking shows measurable base-quality and duplication-rate disadvantages against newer rival chemistry in specific genomic contexts, so default adoption without context-aware validation is not warranted.
- Next
- Run a context-specific benchmark (GC-rich regions, homopolymers, tandem repeats relevant to the target organism/assay) against the newest rival chemistry before defaulting to NovaSeq X Plus, and build optical-duplicate correction into variant-calling QC given the documented 12-13% optical duplicate rate under optimal conditions.
