Invitae Collaboration [Abstract]  
Invitae Collaboration NOTE 3. INVITAE COLLABORATION ARRANGEMENTOn January 12, 2021 we entered into a multi-year Development and Commercialization Agreement (the “Development Agreement”) with Invitae Corporation (“Invitae”). Pursuant to the Development Agreement, Invitae is providing certain funding to us to develop products relating to production-scale high-throughput sequencing (“Program Products”). If Program Products become commercially available, Invitae may purchase the Program Products. In addition to selling the Program Products to Invitae, we will have the right to broadly commercialize Program Products for sale to other customers. Under the Development Agreement, Invitae is funding certain development costs we incur in connection with the Program Products (“Program Development Costs”). Under the Development Agreement, we will be responsible for conducting a program to develop Program Products, and subsequently for manufacturing the Program Product. We jointly make general decisions regarding the development program with Invitae but we are responsible for research and development activities. The development program is expected to last approximately sixty months but may be shorter or longer. The primary benefit of the arrangement to Invitae is preferred pricing on the Program Products. Each Program Product will have a preferential pricing period, which will not exceed four years from the date of the first delivery of that Program Product (“Preferential Pricing Period”). During the Preferential Pricing Period for each Program Product, we are obligated to sell the Program Product at a substantial discount to Invitae until a multiple of the contribution received from Invitae is repaid. For a specified period after the end of the Preferential Pricing Period, we have arranged to sell the Program Product to Invitae at a higher price, as determined by a formula, than the price during the Preferential Pricing Period (“Extended Pricing Period”). The Extended Pricing Periods will terminate early if Invitae does not meet certain volume minimums.We and Invitae may terminate the Development Agreement if the other party remains in material breach of the Development Agreement following a cure period to remedy the material breach and certain other circumstances by each party, including circumstances where Invitae may terminate for delays, intellectual property concerns, our change in control, or without cause. In certain termination circumstances, (i) we will be obligated to refund all or a portion of the development costs advanced by Invitae and/or (ii) we will owe Invitae a share of the revenue that may be generated from the sale of the Program Products to third parties if and when they are commercialized, until such time as Invitae has recouped the amounts paid to us, and in certain circumstances, a mutually agreed return. We have incurred and expect to incur significant development costs over the duration of the Development Agreement. There can be no assurances that the development program will be successful or that the Program Products will become ready for commercial sale.The contract is accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers as the primary benefit from the arrangement to Invitae is the ability to procure the Program Products during the Preferential Pricing Period at substantial discounts. Invitae is not expected to substantially benefit from the intellectual property developed under the arrangement, or benefit from other goods or services during the development period. We will recognize proportionate amounts of the material right in revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied, which is when Invitae places purchase orders for Program Products and the associated goods or services are delivered. Discounts that are not expected to be used will be recognized consistent with the guidance in Topic 606 relating to breakage, in proportion to the expected purchases by Invitae. Any remaining unused discounts will be recognized when they expire. All amounts received from Invitae are initially deferred and accumulated in deferred revenue, non-current. As of December 31, 2021, we have recognized payments received from Invitae of $23.5 million in deferred revenue, non-current, on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Costs incurred to develop the Program Products are research and development costs and are expensed as incurred. There were no capitalized origination or fulfilment costs related to the arrangement with Invitae that are eligible to be capitalized.
