Description

The University of Colorado Ecology and Evolutionary Biology department seeks responses for sequencing of 670 sunflower genomes. The project requires ready to run library sequencing, analysis, and data quality control using Illumina HiSeq X10 sequencers to generate 64 lanes of sequence, each with 120 gigabases of DNA sequence. The total sequence per genome should be 10.5 billion bases of DNA including quality metrics. Data must be delivered via hard drives along with quality and quantity metrics. Evaluation criteria include turnaround time, price, quality assurance, and sample requirements.
