MBG Lab was initially established as a research laboratory. The lab has designed a number of projects which aim at developing and/or improving the detection of diseases and identification of traits of interest in various species. Some of the projects that have been carried out to date are :

• Identification of STR markers for camel genotyping,
• Using in house and commercial microarray technologies for preparation of genomic libraries andidentification of novelgenes of interest in different species,
• Whole genome sequencing of micro-organisms for detection and diagnostics purposes,
• Re-sequencing of animals of interest for designing a methodology of differentiating animal breeds, optimising and identifying new genetic markers for the trait of interest,
• Human whole genome and exome NGS sequencing for diagnostic purposes.
