Howdy, I wanted to let you know I am retiring as Director of the Texas A&M AgriLife Genomics and Bioinformatics Service (TxGen) at the end of August. Dr. Marcel Brun will take over as Director. Most of you already know him from his time as Assistant Director. He’s been with TxGen for 11 years, and Read more about Retirement Announcement and Leadership Transition[…]
Howdy, We at Texas A&M AgriLife Genomics & Bioinformatics Service (TxGen) are dedicated to providing exceptional value and results. We are introduce the Illumina NovaSeq X Plus system—the newest powerhouse in genomic sequencing to current and future clients. Imagine cutting-edge technology that slashes the cost by 50% compared to our previous flagship systems (NovaSeq 6000) Read more about “All your X’s live in Texas” A&M AgriLife[…]
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.
