SNPline genotyping

The Molecular Marker Lab, also located in The Plant Genomics Centre at the Waite Campus, has a SNPline system from LGC Genomics.

The SNPline allows high throughput genotyping of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) and insertions/deletions (InDels) using KASPTM technology. KASP TM is a scalable, cost effective and accurate genotyping method, and with the SNPline we can generate up to 30,000 datapoints per day.

For more information, view a demonstration here.
