Our services
Understanding life, at every scale.
From environmental DNA to bioinformatics, complementary areas of expertise to answer your scientific question.
Our services
A landscape of complementary expertise.
Complementary areas of expertise, brought together according to your scientific question and the specifics of your project.
Also: Targeted DNA tests · Research & Development · Sampling equipment
An approach that fits you
The question first. Then the technology.
Your objective is our starting point. A complete study, a single analysis step or a specific development: we talk with you to define the expertise you need.
Matrices, available data and interpretation needs are discussed together when the project is scoped.
Talk to a scientistOur approach
One scientific chain. One overall view.
Every step counts. Together we build a coherent approach, from the first question to the interpretation of the data.
Scientific project design
Your question is the starting point. Together we set the objectives and the approaches to bring in.
Sampling strategy
Information starts in the field. The choice of matrices and the sampling strategy are designed for your question.
Molecular analyses
Molecular biology links your samples to the data.
Sequencing & dPCR
Amplicons, genomes or targeted detection: technologies are chosen according to the scientific objectives.
Bioinformatics
Data are processed and analysed with bioinformatics approaches suited to your biological question.
Interpretation
We place the analyses back in their biological context and help you understand the results.
Decision support
Scientific knowledge becomes actionable information for your management, conservation or innovation projects.
Frequently asked questions
Answers before the first conversation.
Do I need samples before contacting you?
No. LDgenX works on a complete study, a single analysis step or a specific development. The first conversation can take place before the field campaign, so the sampling strategy is built together.
Can you analyse sequencing data that already exist?
Yes. Bioinformatics support covers the processing, analysis and interpretation of existing data: metabarcoding, metagenomics, WGS, RAD-seq, RNA-seq or epigenetics. Share your objective and the available data.
Do you supply sampling equipment?
Sampling equipment is one of the services LDgenX offers. References, availability and terms are agreed with the team according to your environment and analyses.
How is the quote prepared?
The scope of the service, the reporting, the schedule and the quote are defined from your needs when the project is scoped. The more precise your request, the more precise the proposal.
Where is the team based?
The LDgenX team is based at the Ifremer station in Palavas-les-Flots, near Montpellier, France. For a first conversation, book a slot in the team’s calendar or write to info@ldgenx.fr.
