eDNAtec

eDNAtec is a global leader in ocean genomics – dedicated to improving the environmental stewardship of our oceans. eDNAtec generates and interprets environmental DNA data to yield unique Business Intelligence to reduce operating costs, improve safety, deliver faster information and optimize environmental stewardship decision-making. We are revolutionizing how to assess, monitor and characterize the ocean through DNA sequencing to support the world’s ocean industries, including offshore energy, shipping, fisheries and aquaculture.

Our Centre for Environmental Genomics Applications(CEGA) is a not-for-profit centre of excellence that is currently the only sequencing centre in the world 100% dedicated to environmental genomics. With our strong team of scientists and technicians, CEGA is Atlantic Canada’s flagship end-to-end environmental genomics facility, advancing environmental genomics technologies using the latest technology including MiSeq and NovaSeq sequencing platforms.

We support the life cycle of ocean-based enterprises. We leverage our technology expertise and industry know-how, offering advanced genomic technologies that are considered the world’s newest and best environmental assessment and biodiversity monitoring solutions -- more accessible, always reliable, safer and less expensive than traditional methods.

Our technologies allow ocean-based industries to operate more efficiently and complete environmental assessments faster and more accurately than was previously possible, all within a fraction of the time of traditional observational or catch-and-release studies, potentially saving millions of dollars in opportunity costs.

We are transforming, what was once considered cumbersome and sometimes impossible in ocean-based assessments and monitoring, into routine operations.
