Brief Description

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID), Laboratory of Host Defenses (LHD), has been charged with performing basic research contributing to the development of diagnostic reagents, therapeutics and vaccines against human bacterial pathogens. The sequencing of bacterial genomes is paramount to those diagnostic and vaccine based discoveries. SCHEDULE: The NIAID has a need to sequence an Acetobacter-like genome that is estimated to be approximately three(3) MB in size, to total completion. The contractor shall provide to the NIAID services to perform library construction, shotgun sequencing, sequence assembly, annotation, and finishing reactions to take the genome to total completion for publication by the NIAID. The contractor shall provide all personnel for the work effort.  For complete description and more information, please click on the following link:
