Software solution that optimizes genotyping processes of any organism, enables the design of a customized SNP set for a given breeding project to maximize genetic information
About
How does SNPer™ work? – First, we analyze the full genomic content of the individuals designated to initiate the breeding program, resulting in the identification of millions of differences in the DNA content between them. Next, a target set of SNPs that best represent the overall genetic differences is selected and used in the breeding project. This optimization process reveals more genetic information while often reducing the SNP number tested by 10 to 50-fold as compared to commonly used genotyping tools.
Key Benefits
Using SNPer™, genotyping data generation costs can be reduced by up to 70%, because the generated SNP data can reveal a fuller genetic makeup of each tested sample in a “reverse-engineering” computational process called imputation. When applied correctly, imputation drives costs down as fewer data points are measured directly and more data is added computationally. A breeder can thus understand the broader picture and make an informed decision to accelerate the breeding process.
Applications
SNPer™ is now available for breeding programs of any size, crop plant or animal breed. Companies adopting SNPer™ will see immediate returns on their investment while research scientists will gain much broader genetic insights at a significantly lower cost.
