Advancing Honey Bee Genomics

Low-pass whole genome sequencing as a cost-effective and comprehensive approach

Limited-Time Offer: $30 USD Per Sample

For a limited time Gencove is offering low-pass whole genome sequencing and imputation for honey bees at a special rate of $30 per sample*, subject to minimum volume requirements. This promotion provides an opportunity to access advanced genomic technology at a reduced cost.

Advantages of Low-Pass Sequencing Over Arrays

Cost-Effective and Comprehensive: Gencove's low-pass sequencing provides a more detailed view of the genome compared to traditional genotyping arrays, offering high-resolution data at a lower cost.

Accuracy with Affordability: Our proprietary imputation algorithms ensure precise genomic data, delivering millions of markers and making it a reliable and economical choice for large-scale studies.

Scalable for Extensive Research: This offer enables extensive research across diverse bee populations, facilitating previously cost-prohibitive studies.

The Importance of Honey Bee Genomics

Honey bees are essential pollinators, critical for ecosystems and agriculture. Genomic research is key to addressing issues such as colony collapse disorder, disease resistance, and climate adaptability.

Proven Impact in Bee Genomics

Dr. Brock Harper of Purdue University has utilized Gencove's technology to achieve significant advancements in honey bee genomics:

  • Disease Resistance: Identifying crucial genetic markers.
  • Honey Production: Enhancing productivity traits.
  • Environmental Adaptability: Improving resilience to climate change.
