Bovine – SNP Genotyping

(Bos taurus Linnaeus)

High-throughput genotyping technology is essential for identifying and developing superior bovine varieties. Our Genotyping by Targeted Sequencing (GBTS) technology combines the benefits of array-based methods and high-throughput sequencing, offering unique advantages in customisation, throughput, and cost effectiveness. Utilising this advanced GBTS technology, we have developed a comprehensive range of ready-to-use Bovine GBTS Panels with varying marker densities. These panels are designed to accommodate a diverse array of sample types, including ear, blood, hair follicles, semen, or other tissues.

The GenoBaits® Bovine 40K SNP Panel is specifically designed for large-scale, whole-genome selection breeding applications in dairy cattle populations. This panel provides an efficient and accurate genetic evaluation tool for cattle breeding, enabling more effective breeding decisions and improved genetic progress.

This cutting-edge product comprises 44,373 target SNPs and 75,559 mSNPs (total capture SNPs), including the core sites used for genetic evaluation of Holstein cattle worldwide. It also includes parentage verification SNP sets recommended by ISAG and ICAR.

In addition to our extensive portfolio of genotyping panels, we offer customised services to meet your specific requirements.  If you are looking to elevate your breeding programs with our innovative panels, crafted to enhance your efforts in bovine breed development and improve overall flock performance, contact us to discuss a solution tailored to your breeding program.
