Sequencing Depth

D = Total raw output / read size
Related to coverage, the sequencing depth computes the expected number of reads per sample.
For example, in human : 25,000 genes x 2,000bp x 30 coverage = 1.5Gb per sample. With a single read sequencing of 75 bp reads, this corres­ponds to 20 M reads per sample.
