SEEKING CONTRACTOR TO PROVIDE: � 10 unique DNAs and 10 accompanying RNAs � All samples are from chicken (~1.05 Gb genome) DNA sequencing specifications: � Individual stranded libraries with unique barcodes to detect DNA methylation (e.g., bisulfite conversion) � Sequencing on Illumina platform with either 150 or 250 bp paired-end reads. Target is 60x coverage per individual sample, thus, requires ~63 billion bases total. RNA sequencing specifications: � Individual stranded libraries with unique barcodes to capture mRNA � Sequencing on Illumina platform with 150 bp paired-end reads. Target is ~35 million 150 bp paired-end reads per sample (which is equivalent to ~70 million 150 bp reads) Output � Information delivered within 45 days of receipt of samples on an external hard drive Responses should include: Organization Name, address, contact phone number, e-mail address, and web site address.
