Low-pass genotyping is a genotyping approach that involves sequencing DNA samples at a lower coverage depth. In this method, instead of sequencing the entire genome at a high coverage depth, a subset of the genome is sequenced at a lower depth, typically between 0.1x and 5x coverage. This reduced coverage is achieved by sequencing a Read more about Low Cost Genotyping[…]
In our continuing commitment to the Aggie core value of excellence, Texas A&M AgriLife Genomic and Bioinformatics Service is pleased to announce our new NovaSeq pricing. We have recently added a 2nd Illumina NovaSeq system to our facility. As a consequence, we are able to offer researchers a significant reduction in the cost of sequencing.

2018 was a landmark sequencing year for @TXGEN and this year is shaping up to be even bigger. We added a 2nd @illumina NovaSeq to meet the growing demand and in collaboration with @PerkinElmer_AG are slashing total sequencing project costs by 40%, or more for 2019. pic.twitter.com/wfouiIT7sd — Charlie Johnson (@BioMath) February 1, 2019 Dr. Read more about Twitter Feed Week of Feb 20,1019[…]
We are pleased to announce our fall bioinformatics/HPC short course series, offered by TAMU HPRC and Agrilife Genomics and Bioinformatics Service. The short courses will start with introduction to Linux/Unix (Friday September 7), followed by introduction to the Ada/Terra systems that have most of bioinformatics tools already installed and ready for you to use. Please Read more about Fall Bioinformatics/HPC short course series[…]
Advances in genomics, automation, phenomics, and data management are allowing scientists to identify, modify, and express influential genes for health sciences, agriculture, and veterinary medicine; researchers all over the world are building an unprecedented view of gene content and genome organization. Yet we have much left to learn of the relationship between variation in organisms’ Read more about Another Green Revolution is Coming[…]
