Leveraging Omics technologies to unlock algae, microbial and animal biology for sustainable innovation
Is a GCL omics based technological platform aiming to unlock the full potential of marine resources (algae, microbes, animals) and accelerate the engines of innovation, sustainability and value. It delivers molecular analysis solutions and bio-tools empowering blue & green biotech, aquaculture, health and nutrition and bioeconomy.
Complex biological samples require specialized omics expertise. Algae, microbial, and animal-derived samples are often difficult to process compromising DNA/RNA integrity. We transform challenging samples into reliable data, using omics technologies (genomics, transcriptomics and beyond) and customized sample-specific workflows.
● Algae DNA barcoding, using high-resolution genetic biomarkers enables traceability and taxonomic accuracy for target species.
● Microbiome characterization of fish and shrimp mucosal systems, reveals bacteriome shifts when facing different conditions.
● Transcriptional profiling to assess algae/tissue responses to challenges.
We offer a comprehensive suite of molecular services:
Managed by Liliana Anjos and supported by Ana Teresa Gonçalves and Cristina Paulino together with Rute Félix, Soraia Santos, Anna Stryzhak and Mélissa, the GreenOmics platform combines cutting-edge technologies and multidisciplinary expertise to deliver specialized and precise molecular analysis.
Our facilities are fully equipped to support demanding R&D and contract research. Manual extraction, use of kits or semi-automatic procedures to obtain high-quality DNA/RNA is our daily routine. For that, we count on high-tech equipment, such as mechanical homogenizers, robots, thermocyclers, nucleic acids quantification and Nanopore sequencing technology. We provide robust analytical solutions leveraging our validated in-house bioinformatics pipelines.
