Putting discoveries to work

SNPs identified through RAD sequencing can be used for genotyping on standard high-throughput systems, or assayed as individual genotypes simply by sequencing RAD markers.

Genotyping by sequencing

Floragenex has adapted the RAD discovery system to a ‘genotyping by sequencing’ platform. This innovative approach enables direct comparison of RAD loci within large populations. For customers without high throughput genotyping capability, and in species with minimal existing SNP markers, RAD genotyping is a cost effective option to building complex SNP assays.

SNP Data delivered to your specifications

For customers with existing genotyping infrastructure, the RAD sequence based discovery platform allows Floragenex to assemble sequence information that can be converted for use in advanced high throughput SNP genotyping systems. Our bioinformatics tools can deliver the type and format of data that works best for a particular system and your research objectives.

RAD Genotyping Applications:

- Genetic Fingerprinting / Hybrid Purity Testing

- Bulked Segregant Analysis for marker linkage

- Creation of Genetic Maps

- Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) identification

- Association Mapping
