What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Track; not yet

Why
Cost-per-genome ($80-$100) and scale (60k WGS/yr) are category-leading and real named customers (Regeneron/UK Biobank, Macrogen, Sanger) are deploying the UG-100 base, but the indel/homopolymer error profile, masked-genome regions, and Q2-2026 ship date for the new generation mean it is not yet an adopt-now substrate.
Next
Monitor Q2 2026 UG200 shipments and the first independent (non-Illumina) UG200/Solaris-2.0 WGS benchmark; revisit if a multi-omics partner needs population-scale low-cost WGS and homopolymer-region accuracy is non-critical.
