Feeding the world in the midst of climate change and an ever-growing population demands scientists have access to scalable, flexible and sustainable genomic tools that add value to animal breeding programmes. LGC Biosearch Technologies ensures your mission-critical projects are a success. In this webinar, LGC Biosearch Technologies's industry expert will be showcasing how innovation and creativity are being leveraged to overcome technical hurdles in the application of genomic technologies to accelerate your breeding programme through high-throughput genotyping via Next Generation Sequencing (NGS).
These methods can target from a few regions to entire genomes and can be applied to any species in addition to leveraging valuable previous marker information you already have for your population. A breeding programme must screen a large number of animals quickly, and we have built technologies that match this demand to genotype up to hundreds of thousands of animals per year with fast turn-around times. Flexibility and technical excellence are at the core of our technologies, and these genotyping methods can be updated and optimized over time as you advance your breeding populations to answer evolving goals.
