Requirement
The Toxicogenomic Laboratory in the Pacific and Yukon Laboratory
for Environmental Testing, located at the Pacific Environmental
Science Centre in North Vancouver, is seeking a benchtop Next
Generation DNA Sequencer for three primary applications:
1- To sequence PCR amplicons for forensic DNA species
identification (DNA barcoding). These amplicons will be from a
varied collection of non-model plant and animal species which
may or may not have a reference genome.
2- To identify and sequence microsatellites (also known as short
tandem repeats (STR)) and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)
for individual identification of various animal species and
determination of geographic origin. Genetic material will
originate from non-model animal species.
3- To sequence mRNA transcripts (RNA-seq) for gene expression
studies which examine the impact of toxicants on the genes of
exposed animals. Genetic material will originate from non-model
animal species which may or may not have a reference genome.
Trade Agreements
The requirement is subject to the provisions of the North
American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), and the Agreement on
Internal Trade (AIT)."
