Marker-assisted selection (MAS) and Marker-assisted breeding (MAB)

KASP™ genotyping chemistry in MAS allows greater numbers of assays to be rapidly developed and genotyped in a highly flexible and industry proven manner.

Field trials

Most of the traits considered are in animal and plant genetic improvement programmes. LGC, Biosearch Technologies is helping to shape livestock research.

Sample QC/QA – speciation

LGC Biosearch Technologies offers a predictable, sustainable and cost-effective way to make genetic advances using MAS. The technologies are not gel-based, labour intensive or time consuming.

Marker-assisted selection (MAS) in plant and animal breeding (MAB) graph

Existing use of Marker-assisted selection (MAS) in plant and animal breeding (MAB) involves a high level of expenditure, in terms of SNP assays, equipment and informatics.

KASP™ genotyping chemistry in MAS has become the “global benchmark* technology allowing greater numbers of assays to be rapidly developed and genotyped in a highly flexible and industry proven manner.
