Plan Your Project
Begin by considering your project goals and sample requirements. We can support projects that vary in scope from initial pilot analyses to large-scale investments that require the highest-quality results.
Options & pricing can be customized to include:
Take advantage of our time-tested Illumina sequencing strategy, highly competitive internal pricing, and extensively tested bioinformatic protocols.
✓ Fecal DNA extraction
✓ PCR of a standard dietary DNA marker (e.g., trnL-P6)
✓ Library preparation and sequencing
✓ Bioinformatic analyses that have been extensively validated by our lead data scientist

Leading North American companies advertise rates of $90 per sample.
Our protocol can cut this cost roughly in half, depending on your project size and options.

Challenges you face
“One-size-fits-all fee-for-service labs” “Barriers to entry” “High project costs” “Limited transparency in data handling” |
Our solutions
✓ Collaborative contracts shaped to your goals ✓ Options for small, proof-of-concept projects ✓ Large projects run for half the cost of commercial labs ✓ Over a decade of open-science leadership in the field |
We are extending our highly subsidized internal rates to collaborators, who get more data for the dollar:
Our typical project costs about half what the leading fee-for-service labs advertise.
