Agrigenomics Solutions for Plants

Applied Biosystems AgriSeq targeted genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) solutions allow for high-throughput analysis of plant genotypes in a flexible and cost-effective manner. Leveraging a highly efficient multiplex chemistry, hundreds to thousands of genetic loci can be simultaneously targeted and efficiently amplified in a single reaction. Libraries are then processed for next-generation sequencing (NGS) where hundreds of samples can be barcoded and sequenced in the same run. Capable of generating up to 2.6 million genotypes per day from high-quality NGS data at pennies per data point, AgriSeq targeted GBS represents the future of technology to help advance your plant research.

AgriSeq chemistry is designed for analysis of SNP panels of 50–5,000 markers. Customized panels designed to target your relevant markers will help to accelerate variety development and crop improvement. Our dedicated team of agrigenomics bioinformatics professionals have designed a range of successful panels for plants ranging from corn, soybean, tomato, cotton, cucumber, spinach, and many more.

Our array-based genotyping solutions are ideal for the identification, validation and screening of complex genetic traits in plants and animals. Choose from our wide variety of predesigned arrays or customize an array specifically for your study.

These assays provide a highly flexible technology for detection of polymorphisms within any genome. Create your own assays by submitting target sequences to our secure assay design pipeline using the Applied Biosystems Custom TaqMan Assay Design Tool. This pipeline has successfully generated millions of assay designs by utilizing heuristic rules deduced from both manufacturing and assay performance data. TaqMan Assays can be run on any of our real-time PCR instruments or used as an endpoint assay on other third-party systems, including the Array Tape platform.
