Agencourt Bioscience | DNA Sequencing Services & Nucleic Acid Purification Products

Agencourt Bioscience, a Beckman Coulter company, in collaboration with the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center, recently published gene mutation discovery findings in brain and pancreatic cancers. Whole-genome scanning of tumor samples was performed using Agencourt's high-throughput Sanger sequencing pipeline marking the second stage of an ongoing collaboration that began in 2006. Agencourt also published the results of a sequencing project with the US Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute, which successfully compared 454, SOLiD and Illumina next generation sequencing of a mutant strain of Pichia stipitis, a yeast important in biofuels development.
