Collaborative Sequencing Center

Why Work with the CSC?

Fundamentally, we are scientists focused on bringing cutting-edge approaches to power the research studies ongoing at TGen and City of Hope. Unlike many other vendors we will work with you to tailor your project to meet your needs. We don’t force users into specific buckets of sequencing coverage to optimize process control. We also fully acknowledge and communicate the limitations of each platform and focus on providing customers with data that meets their true analytical needs.
