Partner With Us On Your Project
To begin the process, we invite you to schedule a complimentary consultation with our subject matter experts to help our team learn about your research focus and gain an understanding about your specific sequencing, high-throughput assay, and/or analysis needs.
Project Plan
After the consultation, we will generate a statement of work (SOW) that describes the project details including sample type, preparation processes, analytic report components, and a cost estimate with timeline for your project.
Our pricing is competitive to other academic research service providers.
