Let’s dive into the fascinating world of NASA’s scientific endeavors, where even the smallest samples can unlock the universe’s secrets. Amidst this cosmic exploration, NASA has opened the doors to organizations and institutions, offering opportunities to collaborate on groundbreaking research through sequencing and data processing.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is calling for partners to collaborate on exciting research projects. They are looking for organizations and institutions interested in GeneLab’s sequencing and data processing services. Whether it’s analyzing nucleic acids or preparing and sequencing libraries, NASA offers a range of services to support scientific discovery.
Organizations are invited to fill out a form detailing their research needs. The form requires specifics like the number of samples, the source organism, and the type of services requested, be it sample processing, data processing, or a combination of both. This ensures precise and tailored assistance throughout the research journey.
NASA provides an array of options for library preparation kits, including the Illumina TruSeq Ribo depletion with various shields and the NEBNext Ultra II series. Researchers can select the most suitable tools to match their scientific inquiries. There’s even room for personalized touches, such as deciding on RNA isolation, DNA isolation, or a combined approach, ensuring every sample is handled with care.
