NEXTFLEX HT Agrigenomics Low-pass WGS Kit

Low-pass whole genome sequencing (LP-WGS) followed by imputation is becoming the preferred method for genotyping among plant and animal breeders. LP-WGS can capture a much broader spectrum of genetic variation compared to SNP arrays and is not limited by a fixed content, speeding up the selection process and improving the reliability of predictions.  The high computational demands associated with processing and imputing LP-WGS data make it less accessible for many research programs and breeding initiatives.

CURIO™ Genomics is a bioinformatics software company focused on accelerating agriculture genomics research. Using proprietary ultra-parallelized cloud architecture, the CURIO platform enables processing of large and complex genomic data sets in minutes.
