Comments
Very impressive site. There are no prices on Macrogen’s web site, but their advertising suggests US$5 a sample. I can’t find a street address for Macrogen in Korea, but as Korean’s don’t have western style addresses this is not surprising. Macrogen have recently added a 454 Genome Sequencer instrument capacity to their services which offers excellent turn around times for bacterial scale or smaller genome projects. I have seen the quality of the sequencing they produce and it is of high quality.
