Scope
You only see charges for investigation that you have access to. PIs will therefore see charges for all of their investigations. Post-docs and grad students will only see charges for their projects, not for others in the lab unless they are part of the investigation.Timing
After an initial break-in period, we will load charges fairly soon after the service has been provided. Charges may be before it has been decided whether the service is billable, i.e., whether a run or lane has failed or not. This will be adjusted on an on-going basis until, or even after an invoice has been created.What do we charge for?
The cores charge for quality assessments, making libraries, microarrays, sequencing, basic data processing (RLB), more advanced informatics, as well as CPU charges from the PGFI cluster.What's in a charge?
The core, FGC or NGSC, is set depending on the PI's affiliation and the service, e.g., microarrays are always through FGC, but other services may be FGC or NGSC.The invoice number is set once an invoice is prepared for billing.
The investigation should be clear as well as the Service code (what we did) and the service type.
A service is free if it was performed, but failed due to a problem with the sequencers or something we did wrong.
The % Billed is used to (1) handle the fractional charges from PGFI CPU usage, (2) split services between invoices.
The '$' is the list price. '$/Item' is the charge after the Free and % Billed is considered. This is what you will be charged.
The Instance Key is the name of the thing that the service was performed on or with, e.g.,
FGC0396/1 for a lane in a sequencing run
7890/7890 for bioA of sample 7890
msrx_FGC0350_3_hg18_rd for aligning and loading data from FGC0350/3 to hg18.
The description will usually be fairly cryptic unless we edit it by hand.
Started On and Ended On are the dates over which the service was performed.
