Genotyping is an invaluable tool to identify organisms carrying genetic variations, including insertions and deletions.  This method involves the extraction of DNA from animal tissue samples and the subsequent amplification of genomic regions of interest by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The amplified products are then analyzed based on their size by agarose gel electrophoresis, with an option to confirm the expected sequence by Sanger DNA sequencing

Poochon’s rapid mouse genotyping services are fully customizable, including custom assay development options and testing of multiple tissue types.  Through many years of Sanger DNA sequencing collaboration with Quintara Biosciences and our 96-capillary 3730xl DNA Analyzers, the gold standard for high throughput genetic analysis, we have the capability to run multiple types of allele-specific assays, including PCR, DNA sequencing, and single SNP assay.
