What LABOGENA does

LABOGENA is a French commercial genotyping and sequencing laboratory founded in 1994, headquartered in Jouy-en-Josas with operations at two addresses in Palaiseau (17 rue Léon Blum for sample reception, 12 avenue du 1er mai for physical reception). The company provides industrial-scale genetic analysis services for animal and plant species, operating three core production lines built on Illumina Infinium, Thermofisher Axiom, and Genotyping by Sequencing (GBS) platforms. Its service portfolio covers high-throughput genotyping and targeted sequencing, gene and QTL testing, CDCB-certified parentage attribution and genomic evaluations, custom SNP matrix design, DNA extraction, quality control checks, and R&D consulting. Coverage spans all animal species (cattle, goats, sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks) and all plant species, with sample collection supported via direct distribution of TSU ALLFLEX biopsy, hair, blood, seed, and PCR plaque sampling kits.

The business model is service-based, with three revenue streams: (i) per-sample transaction fees for genotyping and sequencing analysis, (ii) professional services fees for R&D consulting on genomic projects, and (iii) sales of physical sampling kits invoiced by quantity ordered. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; customers request quotes through website forms, phone (Switchboard +33 (0) 1 39 67 58 60; Customer Service +33 (0) 1 39 67 58 68), or email ([email protected]). Results are delivered through a self-serve customer portal (dashboard.labogena.fr). Primary customer segments are the livestock industry (breeders, farmers, livestock producers), plant breeding and agriculture (seed quality verification and crop improvement), and R&D/research institutions.

Market access and customer credibility rest on a dense regulatory and industry credential stack: ISO 17025 accreditation under COFRAC (Accreditation No. 1-5682), CDCB certification for dairy cattle parentage and genomic evaluation, ICAR approval, ISAG membership, and partnership with France Génétique Élevage. The lab employs 11–50 people and has invested in a new industrial facility designed with workflow experts to multiply SNP chip production capacity. Distribution is direct, with customers (enterprises such as farms, breeding organizations, and cooperatives) shipping samples after kit self-collection. Geographic focus is Europe, with active outreach to North America via first-time participation in WCGALP 2026 in Madison, USA.
