High-throughput services
We provide high-quality, cost-effective sequencing, qPCR, and molecularprofiling using a diverse array of platforms. We cultivate long-standing
relationships with technology providers to gain early access to new
platforms and maintain our position at the forefront of genomic
technology. Our extensive experience allows us to provide high-quality

microbiome services include DNA & RNA extraction, amplicon library
preparation, quantitative PCR, sequencing on both Illumina and PacBio
platforms, and custom informatics pipelines for microbiome profiling andtaxonomic assignment. We process human, animal, and environmental
samples from all over the world.
Informatics
Our staff of engineers, systems administrators, and analysts work together
to conduct bioinformatics research and provide analysis services. We
engage in collaborations to develop novel, customized analysis methods.
Our team has broad expertise in sequence analysis applied to data from alltypes of organisms.
To enable our bioinformatics work, we have a state-of-the-art
computational infrastructure that supports our sequencing, dataprocessing, data storage, and analysis services. This infrastructure includes
a >3000-core high-performance, high-memory computational grid, anTraining Workshops:• Introduction to Omics &Bioinformatics• Introduction to Python& Databases for Bioinformatics• Introduction to R and Data

Training
We offer five training workshops each year on high-throughput sequence
data analysis at our campus in Baltimore, MD. Our workshops provide
significant hands-on activities to give attendees analysis experience toapply to their own research.
Clinical/Diagnostic Services
Our Translational & Diagnostics Laboratory is a high-complexity CLIAregistered clinical laboratory leveraging our deep genomics andbioinformatics expertise to offer state-of-the-art clinical moleculardiagnostic testing, clinical trial support, and novel assay development.

Why Maryland Genomics?
High-throughput sequencing technologies and applications now permeate both basic and clinicalresearch. Personalized medicine is being driven by genomic data. However, transforming sequence
data into knowledge is the primary challenge facing researchers today. We take pride in the qualityof our work. Although many centers offer sequencing and routine analysis services, few offer thedepth of experience and quality of analysis that our team provides. Let us help you take yourresearch to the next level.
Who can work with Maryland Genomics?
Everyone! We strive to bring the increasing power and decreasing cost of sequencing and analysis
to a continually expanding research community. We provide services to a wide range of researchers– from basic scientists to clinicians to computer scientists. Prior experience with high-throughput
technologies is not required.
What can I expect?
We work with researchers from both the public and private sector, and our projects span the globe.
No matter your experience or expertise, we can guide you through every phase of the process.
Each project begins with a complimentary consultation with our scientists and project managers.
We use this consultation to learn more about your project goals, and to advise you on project
design, platform selection, cost, and timelines. From there, we conduct regular project status andupdate meetings to ensure the project completes on time and on budget.
Is my project too small? Too large?
No! We routinely work with projects that range from a single sample to multi-year projects withthousands of samples. On average, we have more than 30 active ongoing projects and process
more than 50,000 samples per year.
