This is a modified version of a blog post I initially wrote two years ago. With the increasing interest in genetic ancestry testing over these two years, the question “What is ancestry?” is worth keeping in mind.
We are making some important changes at Gencove.
In the last year, we’ve seen increasing demand for our low-pass sequencing technology from researchers looking for accessible and effective sequencing, and we have been working hard to launch…
tl;dr: Gencove has opened up a platform for low-pass sequencing, available at gencove.com
About ten months ago, I discussed the arguments for using low-pass sequencing as a replacement for genotyping…
A few months at Gencove ago we received an email from Demetrius Green, a science teacher from Bronx Collaborative High School was pretty unique. He wanted us to analyze the ancestries of kids from his science class to illustrate what they learned this year about…
In November 2017 we announced a genomics challenge to fund a research project on innovative uses of low-pass sequencing — the technology behind Gencove. We were very excited with the overwhelming response we received and the variety of projects sent to us. After hours of debating the internal…
