Genome Project Solutions, Inc. maintains relationships with more than 300 scientists of diverse specialties at more than 100 institutions, with extensive capabilities in bioinformatics, to include producing custom software, broad experience in high-throughput DNA sequencing, gene expression studies, and related molecular biology techniques, expertise in evolutionary and functional genomics, proteomics, developmental biology, and many other fields, and who are knowledgeable of the policies and programs of governmental and other funding agencies. This includes the applications of genomics research to areas such as biodefense, ecology, medicine, pharmacology, and agriculture.

Genome Project Solutions plays varying roles depending on the needs of each project. For some, we may simply provide advice on acquiring funding, planning and managing projects, or promoting particular genome projects at government agencies.  For others, we may participate by providing one or a few discrete genomic or informatic products.  For still others, we may establish and manage a large consortium of scientists for a complex project such as sequencing and analyzing a complete eukaryotic genome.  Initial consultations are free of charge and commitment.

We perform many types of studies (using capillary as well as "new generation", e.g. "Solexa" and "454" approaches), including:

— Sequencing whole prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes
— Sequencing large (e.g., "BAC") clones, mitochondrial, plastid, and viral genomes
— Sequencing ESTs and full-length cDNAs
— Environmental sequencing (i.e., "metagenomics") and sequencing for SNP discovery
— Directed finishing for gap closure and quality improvement
— Sequence assembly and validation, gene annotation, function and pathway analyses
— Constructing DNA and RNA libraries, including large-insert libraries in BAC vectors
— Evolutionary analysis of genes, gene families, and genomes
— Designing databases and software to meet specific needs

Genome Project Solutions also provides educational and training opportunities
