Targeted genotyping by sequencing (GBS) is the latest innovation in genomics-assisted breeding programs. Targeted GBS uses a powerful multiplexed approach that enables users to interrogate hundreds to thousands of markers across hundreds to thousands of samples simultaneously. It includes NGS-based assays designed using customer-provided markers or catalog panels designed with publicly available markers.

Applications

  • Marker-assisted selection and breeding
  • Parentage and traceability

Benefits

  • Fast turnaround time
  • Cost effective
  • Simplified data analysis

Thermo Fisher Scientific offers two targeted genotyping by sequencing solutions:
