Our Services

Leveraging advanced bioinformatics to provide actionable insights for your specific needs.

Understanding Microbial Communities

Characterizing microbial populations in environmental, agricultural, or industrial samples.

  • Microbial Profiling: Identifying bacteria, archaea, and fungi using 16S/ITS amplicon sequencing analysis (QIIME 2, DADA2 pipelines).
  • Metagenomic Analysis: Analyzing the complete genetic potential of a microbial community (functional profiling, genome binning from shotgun data).
  • Taxonomic Classification: Assigning identities using relevant curated databases.

Environmental Monitoring & Biodiversity Assessment

Using DNA evidence to monitor ecosystems and assess biological diversity.

  • Environmental DNA (eDNA) Analysis: Detecting species presence (fish, mammals, invertebrates, plants) from water or soil samples via metabarcoding (e.g., 12S, COI markers).
  • Impact Assessment Support: Providing data analysis for Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) and baseline biodiversity studies.

Agricultural & Aquaculture Genomics

Applying genomic insights to improve crops, livestock, and aquaculture practices.

  • Marker-Assisted Selection (MAS) Support: Analyzing genetic marker data (SNPs, SSRs) to aid breeding programs (e.g., for palm oil, aquaculture species).
  • Gene Expression Analysis: Basic analysis of RNA-Seq data to understand gene activity related to traits or stress responses.
  • Pathogen Detection/Analysis: Identifying potential pathogens from genomic or metagenomic data in agricultural settings.

Custom Analysis & Research Support

Tailored solutions for specific research questions and diverse data types.

  • Analysis of Diverse NGS Data Types: Expertise in processing and analyzing data from major platforms (e.g., Illumina short-read, Nanopore long-read).
  • Re-analysis of Existing NGS Data: Gaining new insights from previously generated sequencing data.
  • Genetic Variation Analysis (Non-Diagnostic): Identifying SNPs or other variations in research contexts (e.g., population genetics studies, GWAS support).
  • Custom Pipeline Development: Adapting workflows for unique project requirements.
  • Publication Support: Assisting with data preparation for NCBI submission.

Local Processing & Sample Management

Ensuring data quality and simplifying logistics for Sarawak clients.

  • Local Sample Receiving & DNA/RNA Extraction: Send your samples directly to our Kuching facility for expert handling, preparation, and quality control, minimizing transit risks.
  • Comprehensive Project Management: We can manage your project from sample receipt to final insight delivery.

Consultation & Training

Empowering your team and optimising your projects.

  • Project Consultation: Guidance on experimental design, analysis strategies, and result interpretation.
  • Grant Application Support: Bioinformatics expertise for research proposals.
  • Targeted Training Workshops: Building bioinformatics capacity for your staff or students.

Future Innovations & Vision

Our long-term vision includes establishing state-of-the-art in-house sequencing capabilities and pioneering R&D into genetically engineered microbes for sustainable applications (e.g., PGPR for agriculture, bioremediation, bioleaching), further driving biotech innovation in Sarawak.
