We're making some improvements to how researchers interact with their project.
First on the list is an improved online sample submission form. We've clarified the steps and process and put the form online for easier entry on the researcher end.
Next, we've updated our project tracker with even more goodness. In addition to the always available online tracker, we...

The power of next generation sequencing lies in its ability to serve as a readout for a wide range of biological applications. Many of these applications such as whole genome sequencing, RNA-seq and ChIP-seq are well supported. On the front end there are numerous kits for library preparation while on the back end, there are a wide variety of computational approaches available to make sense of the...

We take great pride in the work we do here at Cofactor, but we're also a fun loving bunch of people. Every once in a while we spend some time after work relaxing. Some days it's skateboarding. Some days it's bowling. This time it was singing. So, without further ado, we present two videos from our most recent performance:
Jon performing "I Will...

With the increasing number of vendors selling library construction kits and reagents library construction may seem to be a fairly straightforward step in the sequencing process. And for many researchers it can be for most libraries once you have sample QC steps in place and completely understand the process. There are however exceptions. One of which are mate pair libraries. There has been...

Since it's inception, RNA-seq has been compared to microarray technology as a means of generating transcriptome information. Both follow a similar path to answering a biological question. This begins with experimental design, followed by data acquisition, and finally analysis and interpretation. However, there are a few key differences between the technologies, and here at Cofactor, we...

Cofactor Genomic's next webinar will focus on Cofactor's De Novo Assembly advances and take place on Friday, May 31st at 12:00 PM CST. From the beginning, our team has been developing and refining our approach to assembly. Every year Cofactor spends a minimum of 20% of its scientist's time and more than a million dollars in expenses related to testing and optimizing our...
