Dear All
The study of genomics in New Zealand has entered a new era. New Zealand Genomics Limited
(NZGL) is a company formed to provide all researchers in New Zealand affordable access to
the latest genomics technology (http://www.otago.ac.nz/nzgl/otago008100.html).
To bring the NZGL system about, the door must close on the University of Otago High Throughput
DNA Sequencing Unit. But where one door closes, another opens. In the new year a new Otago
genomics service will be rolled out, run by full time staff and with a new name, able to meet
all of your technical needs.
The University of Otago High Throughput DNA Sequencing Unit has a number of projects currently
under way. These will be complete by the end of December. No new DNA samples will be accepted
after the 30th November 2010 to facilitate the shutdown process.
Sadly, we can no longer be part of the service. I have enjoyed working with all of you over the
last three years through both the ups and downs of establishing this new and exciting technology.
I wish you every success in the future with all of your endeavours, genomic and otherwise.
It's been fun and don't be strangers!
Jo Stanton and the team
Director
University of Otago High Throughput DNA Sequencing Unit.
