DNA-based technology is the most specific and sensitive method of genetic purity testing. Using PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) technology, DNA detection can:
- Verify the presence of valuable genes
- Identify genetic contamination in seed lots
- Detect and quantify adventitious presence (AP) of biotech events in seed lots or field populations
- Quantify the % sterile seeds in a seed lot
- Measure the percent recurrent parent and homozygosity in backcross breeding programs
- Map qualitative and quantitative traits
- Determine zygosity of selected traits
Combining highly skilled professionals and advanced scientific equipment, BioDiagnostics uses DNA-based detection technologies to detect any known gene in plants and apply molecular markers for genotyping and molecular breeding. BioDiagnostics generates up to 27,000 data points per week using liquid handling robots and a 384-well platform, producing accurate results in a timely manner.
