GCP/IBP rice genotyping panel

Rice genotyping assay library - choose from >2,000 functionally validated KASP SNP assays. Cost-effective, easy to run, no minimum order.

A set of 2055 KASP™ SNP genotyping assays for rice has been developed for the Generation Challenge Programme and their Integrated Breeding Platform. Through LGC Biosearch Technologies these assays are now available to the rice breeding community to accelerate development of improved varieties by marker-assisted selection (MAS).

The rice genotyping library utilises our accurate and robust PCR-based KASP genotyping chemistry.

Unlike chip-based systems with fixed marker sets, our rice genotyping library allows you to flexibly pick and choose sets of markers according to changing needs arising in marker-assisted breeding projects. Furthermore, KASP genotyping assays are highly cost-effective, thus providing an economical option to use the same SNP assays throughout the course of a breeding programme.

 

Biosearch Technologies completes genomics solution also encompasses plant sample collection kits, DNA extraction and genotyping services, enabling breeders even in remote locations to apply MAS.

Development of the rice genotyping library

The conversion of rice SNPs to KASP assays was commissioned by the Generation Challenge Programme to produce a set of markers polymorphic within and between the main Oryza groups. A subset of these markers has been used to validate Oryza glaberrima/O. sativa polymorphisms (Pariasca-Tanaka et al., 2014).

Advantages

  • Library includes 2055 functionally validated SNP markers
  • Cost-effective and robust KASP genotyping technology
  • Flexible - pick and choose the markers that are relevant to your project based on genome location
  • Convenient – use informative markers directly on breeding populations or novel cultivars
  • No minimum order – order any number of assays from the library
  • KASP assays are easy to run in your own laboratory or can be used in a genotyping service project

Ordering

The rice KASP Assays can be provided as part of our genotyping service or as reagents to run KASP genotyping in your own laboratory.
