Description: Genotyping is widely used in crop breeding to identify and select plants with favorable genetic content. However, it is a process that requires extensive resources and constant attention to logistic detail. SNPro™ is NRGene’s pre-designed, complete genotyping solution that combines low-density genotyping with high-density imputation to reduce genotyping costs, simplify workflows, deliver high-quality genotypic data, and, ultimately, enable faster development of new elite varieties. SNPro™ builds on NRGene’s customized genotyping solution, SNPer™, in which genotyping and imputation are optimized within an individual breeding program to maximize the genetic information gained from a minimal number of SNPs genotyped.

Why it Matters to the Seed Industry: This technology matters to the industry as many companies perform genotyping as part of their breeding program. Genotyping requires constant attention and extensive resources. By using our technology, companies can develop and release new elite varieties faster to the market.
