Description
The Alaska Department of Fish and Game is soliciting bids from qualified contractors to provide high-throughput whole genome sequencing services for approximately 3,000 kelp samples. The project consists of sequencing pooled DNA libraries, generating high-quality sequencing data, and delivering processed data products suitable for downstream genomic analyses. The contractor shall provide library quantification and cluster generation, whole genome sequencing, data processing, and temporary secure data storage.
• The contractor must have a minimum of 10 years of experience in next generation short-read DNA sequencing services
• The contractor must have a minimum of 10 years of experience working with federal and/or state government clients
• The contractor must have previous experience sequencing DNA products, including whole genome libraries, prepared from various seaweed species
• The contractor must have proven capability with high-throughput Illumina short-read sequencing platforms
• The contractor must provide high-quality sequencing data with Q30 scores ≥ 85%
• The contractor must utilize ~ 25B flow cell capacity, with one pooled library per lane
• The contractor must perform demultiplexing using index information provided by ADF&G GCL
