“We’ve generated and sequenced more than 70 Phase Genomics libraries so far, leading to numerous highly contiguous plant genomes and chromatin interaction projects. We are incredibly happy with our long-standing relationship with Phase, and look forward to our continued collaborations”

“The direct association of mobile genetic elements with their microbial hosts in complex populations is one of the last remaining technological challenges in the microbiome space. Proximity ligation is an elegant way to overcome this obstacle and presents a promising key technology in the study of bacteriophage and antibiotic resistance biology within a microbial context.”

“The level of genome completeness and contiguity yielded by this technology has transformed how we view genome projects and has enabled us to ask new biological questions.”

“The thing that was fun was that [the Phase Genomics team] were definitely personally invested in our research. It wasn’t just a payment for service thing. They were genuinely interested in our results. It’s fun to work with people who are interested in the results.”

“Metagenomics has drastically accelerated virus discovery, changing our view of virus sequence space from a few hundred viruses to millions. However, the twin grand challenge — to capture full genomes and to link newly discovered viruses to their hosts — are major roadblocks for the field. Promisingly, these early findings suggest that Phase Genomics’ proximity ligation approach may solve both these problems.”
