Comments
MGS provides DNA & RNA sequencing services to New Zealand and International customers. Next Generation Sequencing work must be directed to the NZGL. MGS includes a control sample on each plate assayed to assess the validity and quality of the run. International customers require an import permit for importing materials of a biological nature into New Zealand.
