Our Marker Assisted Selection service helps ensure that desired trait(s) are identified and introgressed into segregating genetic backgrounds. By testing appropriate population sizes and employing DNA markers correctly one can design your next inbred to be a desired genetic ratio of the original parents or cross. This process can also decrease the number of generations required to reach a satisfactory level of homozygosity in developing you next superior inbred parent. Tailored molecular marker applications provide an easy alternative to setting up internal molecular maker laboratories or taxing the limits of your current lab. Call Gene Hookstra, Ph.D. at 800.426.9124 or email info@stalabs.com to request an Eurofins STA Genetic Services sample submission form and sample collection materials. |
