Project planning services

Even though the bioinformatics effort comes usually late in a project's lifetime, it is a good idea to think about it as early as possible. In sequencing projects, for instance, the choice of technology, the number of cycles (the length of the reads), the size of inserts (mate-paired reads) are all aspects that can have a large impact on the bioinformatics tasks later on in the project. To complicate things, there might be a trade-off between costs and benefits making the best strategy more difficult to elaborate.

The bioinformatic team can advise customers in the early stages of their project on the best experiments to run given their research question. This, is based on extensive experience of the potential of each technology from a bioinformatics perspective. Taking that extra step can save a lot of time and money avoiding wasting resources on instrument runs not optimally suited to answering the scientific question at hand.
