Contact Information
Contact information is missing from Ana-Gen's web site. I don't know if this a bug because I am using Mac OS X, but none of the contact information pages work. Ana-Gen it might be a good idea to fix this! - it is hard to get new customers if people can't contact you! We can't even send you an email telling you that you have a problem.
Comments
The web site is broken. Many of the links on the site do not work, for example, the "about us" page is missing the contact information. Overall, sequencing prices are not competitive. The only interesting services are the animal genotyping services although no prices are provided for these.
