Foxtail – SNP Genotyping

(Setaria italica)

To support foxtail millet research and breeding, we offer ready-to-use Genotyping by Targeted Sequencing (GBTS) panels in a range of marker densities. These panels support genetic diversity analysis, germplasm characterisation, trait discovery and genomic selection, enabling the development of improved varieties with enhanced agronomic performance and environmental resilience.

For projects with specific genotyping requirements, custom GBTS panels can also be developed. Contact us to discuss a solution tailored to your breeding program.
