DNA Sequencing For Invasive Forest Pathogens and Soil Microbes

Our research on molecular diagnostics, metabarcoding/metagenomics, phylogenetics/phylogenomics, population genetics/genomics of endemic/invasive/emerging forest pathogens, and other host/microbe species requires services that provide diverse, accurate, and precise DNA/RNA sequencing services (whole genome sequencing, Sanger sequencing, transcriptome sequencing) and FTA cards processing. The Contractor shall supply the necessary personnel, reagents, and laboratory equipment needed to perform the following: Processing DNA (genomic and targeted amplicons) and RNA (including miRNA) approximately 2,300 samples Next Generation Sequencing (e.g., Illumina- NovaSeq6000, PacBio-Revio platform) approximately 2 samples Processing FTA card samples (e.g., DNA extraction, PCR, and genomic/metagenomic sequencing) approximately 11 samples Fast turn-around time (typically within 24 - 48 hours for Sanger Sequencing and 4-6 weeks for Next Generation Sequencing) Sample tracking systems (barcoded label sample tracking systems) Must process the samples in USA. **This is for Market Research Only. NO AWARD will result from this Sources Sought posting.** Please complete the attached questionnaire and return it with any documents supporting your company's ability to fulfill these services for future potential efforts.
