Illumina TruSeq Bovine Parentage Sequencing Panel
Illumina has launched its TruSeq Bovine Parentage Sequencing panel. The new kit tests for 266 SNP-based markers, including 200 markers recommended by the International Society for Animal Genetics for establishing parentage in cattle, and 66 additional SNPs associated with economically relevant traits. The test also allows laboratories to run 96 samples together, and quickly deliver a report in 1.5 days.
