Capacity to processing 50,000 DNA Samples a year – Texas A&M Genomics & Bioinformatics Service

Our army of amazing PerkinElmer, Inc. robots have arrived! With a capacity to process 50,000 samples a year. In combination with our Illumina NovaSeq system (Illumina’s first agricultural focused NovaSeq site) we now have an even larger capacity to support agriculture and life science researchers from across Texas A&M AgriLife, Texas A&M University, Texas A&M University System, and the world. AgSeq is Born!

Day one, unboxing of our new @PerkinElmer JANUS system and two Sciclone G3 NGS Workstations. Our system will be capable of processing 960 DNA samples a week, 50k a year into sequencing libraries. Feeding our @illumina NovaSeq system. Tomorrow should be an even bigger day. pic.twitter.com/OwdYESxsNu
