New SCGC paper

Genomic representativeness and chimerism in large collections of SAGs and MAGs of marine prokaryoplankton

Single amplified genomes (SAGs) and metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) are the predominant sources of information about the coding potential of uncultured[…]

Customer Testimonials

Penny Chisholm (Massachusetts Institute of Technology):

“Working with the SCGC has been an incredibly rewarding experience for our work. As a boutique operation, they offer personal expert attention that is not always available from larger organizations. They not only deliver top quality results, but they make an effort to understand the specific scientific goals of the project, and can set their sails accordingly.”

Tanja Woyke (U.S. DOE Joint Genome Institute):

“Since its inception in 2009, the Single Cell Genomics Center at Bigelow has been a true champion of generating single-cell genomes of highest quality, handling samples from a broad array of ecosystems. These genomes have enabled ground-breaking scientific insights, many in collaboration with the Joint Genome Institute. I very much look forward to the continued success path of SCGC and the future research enabled through its output!”

Karen Lloyd (University of Tennessee):

“Years ago, I sent some extremely low biomass samples to the SCGC for separation and single cell amplification. When we looked at the resulting SAGs, I thought it was all contaminants, which wasn’t too surprising given the difficulty of my samples. Recently, my student decided to take another look at those SAGs, now that the public databases are richer. She just discovered these SAGs are actually from an extremely interesting and environmentally relevant group! So now we’ve picked the data back up again and are analyzing it now.”
