StarSEQ

StarSEQ is a research and service oriented spin off enterprise of GENterprise Gesellschaft für Genanalyse und Biotechnologie mbH. StarSEQ GmbH has taken over the operative business of the originating company GENterprise dated to 1 January 2014. GENterprise was a spin off company of the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Germany.

Although only founded in 2008, StarSEQ unites a considerable measure of technical competence. The founders of the company have decades of experience in nucleic acid analysis. Their experience ranges from the first gene technological applications of the mid-1970s to the decoding and characterization of genes with the most modern high throughput technology in the framework of genome projects. 

The StarSEQ laboratory is located in Mainz, where all work—including sequencing—is carried out. All generated data is hosted in Germany and is subject to German and EU law. StarSEQ has no business relationships with Asian companies, so our customers’ samples, results, data, and intellectual property are secure. 

StarSEQ aims to offer a complete service in the analysis of genetic material for research institutes and industries. Our main priorities are our orientation towards our customers and our careful advisory service.
