Integrated tools. Accelerated science.

1. SNP Discovery

• We offer a broad range of services: Genotyping by Sequencing (GBS)¹, NGS services including de novo sequencing, re-seq, transcriptome, metagenome, analysis of amplicons, and custom applications.
• GBS is a cost effective method for genome-wide SNP discovery for organisms with no reference genome.
• Experience in techniques ranging from normalized GBS (nGBS), double digest RadSeq (ddRAD) and other GBS or targeted sequencing- based approaches.

2. Association Studies

• Using a high density microarray for a genome wide association study can provide insight into how your markers are linked to your traits of interest
• We offer array-based SNP genotyping through a partnership² with TraitGenetics.
• Consulting services available for complex projects (e.g. the development of new arrays, including for livestock as well as crop plants).

3. SNP Validation

• Validation is necessary for informative SNP assay development, in order to maximize the number of functional polymorphic markers in genetic segregation analysis.
• Our systems and services are a cost-effective solution enabling generation of large datasets for increased confidence in SNP validation.

4. Marker Assisted Selection (MAS)

• MAS is used to produce better and safer crops and livestock.
• SNP markers enable the selection and breeding of desirable traits in a rapid and cost-effective manner.

5. Routine Screening

• Harness the power and flexibility of our high-throughput systems to genotype SNPs across large populations.
• KASP^® and BHQplus^® probes are industry-leading chemistries for high quality, cost-effective genotyping while all BHQ probe formats are ideal for gene expression and copy number variation.   
• We have the world’s largest genotyping laboratory, delivering the highest quality data at break-through cost savings with expertise across hundreds of different species.
