Celebrating the CenGen-CAF collaboration

CenGen has relied heavily on the fragment analysis services provided by the DNA Sequencing Unit of the Central Analytical Facility (Stellenbosch) over the past 23 years of our existence. The two teams only recently managed to get together to celebrate the thousands of samples and millions of data points generated to the benefit of the agricultural industry over the years – a collaboration showcasing that strengthening each other’s capabilities go a long way.

Pictured above are the two teams during CAF’s visit in Worcester.
