Our passion is to understand the richness of our earth's understudied biodiversity. The boom genomic data has significantly improved our ability to study this diversity relative to ecology, taxonomy, bio-chemisty, and other biological factors across several domains. Research of native species and invasive species is crucial for characterizing biodiversity and protecting native ecosystems as well as providing rich sources of beneficial consumables, supplements, and other materials for the natural and fermented products as well as agricultural markets. By working with us, our clients are able to push the vanguard of the focal systems they work with, leading to novel insights, characterization, and discovery of previously unknown biodiversity and variation. Leveraging the power of genomic data, we provide unparalleled insights into the ecological, taxonomic, and biochemical intricacies of native, invasive, or agricultural species.
The proper taxonomic and evolutionary characterization of non-model species is crucial for understanding species in their native (or non-native) ecosystems as well as the industries selling products derived from them. These species may represent unknown or cryptic species comprising several sub-lineages (i.e., population sub-structuring) that could have unique population dynamics, hybridization, and invasiveness, also affecting products derived from these variable sources. Identification of native non-model species often depends on taxonomic treatments that can be decades or even over a hundred years old and almost always lack genomic resources for their proper genetic characterization.
We provide systematic characterization of non-model species across various scales allowing researchers, conservationists, land managers, and businesses to know exactly what evolutionary lineages they are working with and how these relate to currently established taxonomy. Our services span full systematics characterization of species, giving our clients the confidence to know what organisms they are working with across several scales.


Our Mission:
Characterizing Biological Diversity
-
Harness insights into the evolutionary history and population dynamics of your species
-
Systematic analyses using taxonomy, ecology, biogeography, population, and evolutionary biology with a variety of genomic datasets.
-
Our vision is to democratize the use of bioinformatics in studying native ecosystems, driving progress in conservation, restoration, agriculture, and biotechnology.
