Turning data into discovery with bioinformatics
About us
At Koonkie we're working with data from all over the planet (with implications beyond). We’ve helped find therapeutic targets, kick start environmental recovery and reclamation, discover new species, and uncover life's strategy for survival on distant planets. Our team of highly trained scientists, computational experts, and biologists capture value and biological insights from your data. We offer custom bioinformatic pipelines, build algorithmic and software solutions, manage workflows to better communicate your data's power, and - most importantly - interpret your data. Reach out today to capture, tame, and learn how to manage your Big wild (genomic) Data. https://www.koonkie.com/contact-us/

eDNA is a true game-changer in environmental science! 🧬 At Koonkie, we love seeing how this innovative technology is applied to protect our environment across sectors, from #agriculture to #mining, and beyond. Curious about how eDNA could benefit your project? Book a consultation: www.koonkie.com
🌍 What is eDNA? A New Frontier in Environmental Science 🌍 Think of eDNA as a “blood test” for the environment. With just a scoop of water, soil or even air, scientists can detect which species inhabit an ecosystem and in what abundance. This groundbreaking tool, supported by genomics, is transforming conservation, biodiversity monitoring and ecosystem management. Curious to learn more?

By increasing carbon stabilization, companies can meet regulatory requirements and sustainability goals. Atmospheric CO₂ can be captured and stored in various natural reservoirs called “carbon sinks”. Koonkie’s team has the highly-specific expertise required to measure soil carbon and provide actionable insights to enhance the carbon sequestration capabilities of your organization. Reach out to services@koonkie.com to schedule a consultation. #ESG #CarbonSequestration

Congratulations to the UBC iGEM team on their incredible success at the 2024 iGEM Grand Jamboree in Paris! 🎉 Koonkie is proud to support such a dedicated and innovative team. Their hard work led them to win ... 🛠️ Best Hardware 🌍 Best Sustainable Development Impact 🥇 A prestigious Gold Medal Award Their success is a testament to their talent and vision in advancing synthetic biology and sustainability, and we are honored to be part of the journey that brought nuCloud to life.
🌟 Exciting News from the 2024 iGEM Grand Jamboree! 🌟 The 2024 UBC iGEM team is thrilled to announce our outstanding achievements at this year’s iGEM competition in Paris! We are incredibly proud to have won Best Hardware, Best Sustainable Development Impact, and to receive a prestigious Gold Medal Award for our Excellence in Synthetic Biology. Our team was also nominated for the Biomanufacturing Project award as we were ranked in the top 5 teams for this village. These accomplishments have earned us a place as the Best 2024 Undergraduate Team in North America! Our journey has been powered by innovation, hard work, and a dedication to sustainable progress. This recognition is a testament to our team's commitment to addressing real-world challenges and advancing the field of synthetic biology and we are excited to share this news within the scientific community. We would like to extend a huge thank you to our mentors, supporters, and the iGEM community for your encouragement and inspiration along the way. A special thank you goes out to our sponsors who helped bring nuCloud to life over this past year, our team could not have accomplished this without you. Koonkie, The University of British Columbia, Science Undergraduate Society of UBC Vancouver, School of Biomedical Engineering at UBC, UBC Department of Microbiology and Immunology, UBC Science, LSI - UBC Life Sciences Institute, UBC Faculty of Land and Food Systems: Thank you all for your generous support.

The microbes that live around root systems influence how plants absorb nutrients. When it comes to tea leaves, neighboring soil microbes can change tea flavor. Recently, researchers recreated desirable flavor profiles by mimicking the microbiome from tea plants with high-value flavors. Curious? Email services@koonkie.com to explore the possibilities.

Inoculating grape juice with commercial yeast strains offers predictability and consistency in wines. But to capture the unique character of their region, winemakers must control the fermentation process with native yeasts. At Koonkie, we use DNA sequencing to pinpoint yeasts key to regional flavors, helping winemakers to cultivate local strains for unique and valuable wines. Reach out to services@koonkie.com to schedule a consultation. Read more about our work with wine yeast here: https://lnkd.in/gx-DRXjx #NaturalWine #Microbiome #RegenerativeFarming
