The Advanced Studies in Genomics, Proteomics and Bioinformatics (ASGPB) was established at the UH College of Natural Sciences in 2003. Two years later, our genomics core facility began operating to meet the increasing demand by UH life science faculty for high-throughput DNA sequencing and high-performance bioinformatic analysis services at a relatively low cost and fast turnaround. We primarily serve the UH System, but we have attracted clients from around the state, U.S. mainland, and abroad.
