High-quality bioinformatics services don’t have to be high-cost — not when done efficiently.

Our approach combines senior expertise with skilled engineering support to deliver results faster and at lower cost than many alternatives.

It’s common for researchers to worry that hiring a bioinformatics company will be expensive. And yes — our Lead Bioinformaticians (LBs) command higher hourly rates than entry-level analysts. But cost-effectiveness isn’t about hourly rates — it’s about how much time (and money) it takes to reach the finish line.

In our model, experienced LBs provide project design, oversight, and high-level analysis. Routine processing, scripting, and repeatable tasks are handled by our in-house Bioinformatics Engineers (BEs), who are talented, efficient, and less costly.

This structure — much like a faculty lab with postdocs or senior grad students — allows us to:

- Avoid wrong turns and minimize rework
- Deliver results more quickly
- Reduce total project cost without compromising quality
- Match senior expertise to tasks that need it — and not to those that don’t

We believe strongly in doing things right the first time. When less experienced analysts take the lead, mistakes often emerge late and are costly to fix. Our clients often tell us they wish they’d come to us first.

Whether you're outsourcing a full pipeline or just contracting us for part of your analysis, our model helps you stay efficient and on budget. We provide flexible bioinformatics outsourcing, contract bioinformatics support, custom and customized bioinformatics solutions tailored to both academic and industry clients.

We also offer bioinformatics consulting services to help clients scope their projects, review analysis plans, or address peer review comments — all backed by our quality-first approach.
