  • Non-UGA members: All personal and affiliation information have been imported to the FBS Portal, and we will send email invitations from UGA@FBS.io asking you to set up your login credentials (username and password).

 

  • Submitted Orders: Although the Genesifter system will not accept any new orders as of December 2nd, we will continue to use it to complete the submitted orders.

 

  • GeneSifter Archive: You will have access to “GeneSifter Archive” for few months in case you need to download or archive your previous orders and invoices. There will be a new button pointing to “GeneSifter Archive” on the GGBC website.
