Services Offered

Sanger Sequencing: Our state-of-the-art laboratory provides accurate and reliable Sanger sequencing services, allowing for the analysis of genetic material with high precision and efficiency. We offer comprehensive sequencing solutions for various animal species, enabling researchers and breeders to unravel the genetic mysteries of their specimens.

A1A2 Blood Genotyping: Our laboratory specializes in A1A2 blood genotyping, a crucial analysis for determining the A1 and A2 beta-casein alleles in cattle. By identifying the specific alleles present, we assist in optimizing breeding programs and developing superior dairy herds.

Genetic Screening of Bulls: Our laboratory provides comprehensive genetic screening services for bulls, allowing breeders to assess the genetic merit and potential of their livestock. Through our screening techniques, we identify key traits, inherited disorders, and markers for desirable characteristics, empowering breeders to make informed decisions in their breeding programs.

Bioinformatics and Genomic Analysis: We offer cutting-edge bioinformatics and genomic analysis services to explore and interpret complex genetic data. Our skilled team employs advanced computational techniques to process and analyze genomics data, facilitating comprehensive insights into animal genomes.

Genotyping Services: We offer genotyping services to analyze the genetic composition of animal populations. By examining specific markers and variants, we help researchers and breeders gain a deeper understanding of genetic diversity, relatedness, and inheritance patterns within their respective animal populations.

At the Animal Genomic Laboratory, we combine cutting-edge technology, extensive expertise, and a commitment to excellence to deliver high-quality genomic services. Our team of experienced scientists and technicians is dedicated to advancing animal genomics and breeding research. We work closely with researchers, breeders, and industry professionals to provide tailored solutions to meet their specific needs.
