nGBS/ddRAD and Flex-Seq for smarter marker discovery and screening 

With normalised genotyping-by-sequencing (nGBS/ddRAD), you can discover novel SNP markers tailored to your species genome. And with our bundle offering, you can seamlessly transition to targeted genotyping with Flex-Seq, for high-throughput screening of those markers to maximise the value of your data. 

This dual-service approach helps you save time, reduce costs, increase efficiency and enhance the overall quality of your genotyping results. Critically, upfront marker discovery permits proper characterisation of your samples, generating up to hundreds of thousands of loci for further screening. Even a small GBS project can ensure a fully tailored set of SNPs for sub-selecting from, providing a well-defined set of markers ahead of a targeted genotyping strategy. 

Celebrating 10+ years of experience

We are proud to celebrate over a decade of experience delivering high-quality Genotyping-by-Sequencing (GBS) services. Over the years, we have worked on a wide range of species, both commonly and less commonly studied, supporting research in breeding and population genetics.

Our experience spans everything from trees such as Picea and Alba species, plants with large genomes such as Paris quadrifolia, to complex crop and forage species like Helianthus annuus, Humulus lupulus and Phleum pratense.   

We’ve also supported studies in ornamental plants (e.g., Tulipa), mammals (e.g., Cervus, Delphinus), as well as fungi, corals, and a variety of insect species including Bruchus rufimanus and Osmia bicornis.

No matter the organism, we tailor our approach to meet the unique challenges of each project. 

Why choose this approach? 

nGBS/ddRAD service  Flex-Seq service 
Identify new, high-quality SNP markers with restriction-enzyme based reduced representation sequencing. Enzymes are tailored to your species/varieties for genome-wide SNP discovery, incorporating a normalisation of repetitive regions for improved and cost-effective sequencing efficiency. Screen your selected markers with precision and scalability. 
Together 
A powerful duo for marker discovery and validation.
