Description
The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR), Bureau of Forestry, requires the services of a genomics laboratory to conduct high-throughput sequencing of soil samples and measure various soil chemistry and health parameters. The project involves two distinct research projects: the Black Cherry Project and the Pitch Pine Project. The laboratory will be responsible for performing tasks such as DNA extraction, library preparation, sequencing, and soil chemistry parameters. The contract will commence upon execution and terminate on December 31, 2026, with the possibility of renewal for up to two additional annual terms.
Key aspects of the project include:
• High-throughput sequencing of soil samples
• Measurement of soil chemistry and health parameters
• DNA extraction and library preparation
• Sequencing and data analysis
• Soil texture analysis for Black Cherry Project samples
• Technical support for data analysis and interpretation
• Data analysis reports and raw data delivery
