Applications

Applications

At Cofactor, each application takes biological samples through experimental design, sample preparation, sequencing, and application specific analysis. Because we offer an end-to-end process, we are accountable for the complete solution. This accountability has allowed us to engineer processes and deliverables that give the highest rate of success and provide unparalleled insight into researchers data.

RNA-Seq

Focused on characterizing RNA samples. Starting with RNA from a client and ending with an in depth representation of expressed loci, differential expression of genes, gene discovery, and alternative splicing characterization.

De-Novo Assembly

At Cofactor Genomics, we think of de novo assemblies as an experimental continuum governed by the correct balance between targeted contiguity and researcher’s budget. Using the Illumina platform, we are likely to achieve an assembly, which contains nearly all exons and introns of a given organism. This may be satisfactory for a researcher who wants to generate an assembly to further investigate the coding and gene space of their organism (e.g. comparative SNP or expression projects between several strains). However, for a researcher who requires a de novo assembly as a resource for use in their lab, it may be advantageous to develop a more contiguous assembly.
