Eurofins Genomics AgriGenomics Europe and Gencove announce collaboration to offer complete solution for low-pass whole genome sequencing

The collaboration leverages both companies' strengths in sequencing to accelerate advancements in genotyping benefiting plant breeders, livestock selectors, aquaculture, and companion animal sectors. By integrating Gencove's end-to-end software platform, which is hardware-agnostic and designed for high-volume genomic data generation and analysis, with Eurofins Genomics AgriGenomics Europe's' extensive expertise and global infrastructure in DNA sequencing and genotyping, the partnership unlocks cost-effective genotyping with a simplified analytical flow for species without SNP arrays available.

"By teaming up with Eurofins Genomics AgriGenomics Europe, we're boosting the efficiency and reducing the cost per sample of our sequencing processes, thereby broadening access to affordable sequencing for a wider range of scientists and researchers" Joseph Pickrell, Ph.D., co-founder and CEO of Gencove, explained.

In making large-scale genomic information more accessible and actionable, Gencove and Eurofins Genomics AgriGenomics Europe are setting new benchmarks for what is possible in agriculture.
