- Description
- The USDA, ARS, Western Regional Research Center, Albany, California has a requirement an optical mapping system. This system must rapidly generate high-resolution, ordered, whole genome restriction maps from single DNA molecules extracted from bacteria, yeast, or fungi. The optical maps shall be generated ‘de novo,' independent of sequence information, and provide a comprehensive view of the entire genomic architecture. These maps must provide a means to compare microbial genomes to identify regions of similarity and dissimilarity across the genomes of very closely-related strains and discover the locations of structural motifs that may correlate with phenotypic traits such as pathogenicity, virulence and antibiotic resistance. Applications of optical mapping include high-resolution comparative genomics, high-resolution strain typing and whole genome sequence assembly. This mapping system will allow previewing of genomes in order to determine the best targets for sequencing. Also, the optical maps generated must function as genomic scaffolds to order contigs, close gaps, correct misassemblies and detect repetitive sequences. The optical mapping system must include installation/commissioning, user manuals, and training. Also specify any shipping/freight costs. This solicitation incorporates the following commercial FAR clauses by reference 52.212-1, 52.212-2, 52.212-3, 52.212-4, and 52.212-5. Funds are not currently available for this acquisition and award will be made subject to the availability of funds. Interested vendors are encouraged to submit proposals containing descriptive literature (refer to FAR 52.214-21) of their products to Clarice Dixson, USDA, Agricultural Research Service, Western Regional Research Center, 800 Buchanan Street, Albany, CA 94710 or by e-mail to Clarice.Dixson@ars.usda.gov no later than 4:00PM PDST August 30, 2010.
