Illumina Resequencing for Genomic Variation Analysis

The contract involves conducting moderate-depth whole-genome resequencing of 20 sandbar shark individuals using Illumina sequencing platforms. The primary objective is to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and structural variations within the genomes, providing valuable data for genomic variation analysis. This work is aimed at enhancing the understanding of genetic diversity and evolutionary patterns in sandbar sharks. Issued by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration under the Department of Commerce, the subcontract is part of a genomics research initiative. The performance location is Panama City, with a submission deadline for responses set for June 26, 2026. The contract falls under the NAICS code 541690, indicating research and development in the biological field, and emphasizes high-throughput sequencing technology application in marine biology.
