Depending on the number of markers to be tested in parallel and the desired applications, various technologies are available for genotyping biallelic markers such as SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) and indels (insertion/deletion polymorphisms).
Genotyping Technologies
- Analysis of between 1 and over 5 million loci (SNP, indel or CNV)
- Custom genotyping to study specific regions of interest in any species
- Commercial panels with standard content
Applications
- Candidate gene studies
- SNP discovery validation
- Fine mapping of candidate association regions
- Linkage analysis to map the position of loci causing a phenotype of interest
- Admixture mapping
- Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to map genetic variation among populations in order to identify variants associated with a phenotype
- Copy Number Variation (CNV) analyses
- Cytogenetic studies
- Homozygosity mapping
