description
A company that delivers affordable genotyping products and services. DArT is a generic and cost-effective genotyping technology. It was invented by Dr Andrzej Kilian, to overcome some of the limitations of other molecular marker technologies such as RFLP, AFLP and SSR. We offer DArT as an integrated technology package comprising both ‘wet science’ and IT components.
The main advantages of DArT technologyThe main technology applications it is a reliable technology based on hybridising DNA to microarrays; it is not dependent on prior sequence information; it is high throughput due to a high level of multiplexing; it produces reproducible data at low cost. genome profiling and genome background screening; rapid construction of genetic linkage maps; identification of quantitative trait loci (QTL); rapid introgression of genomic regions in accelerated backcrossing programs; simultaneous marker-assisted selection for several traits; evaluation of the genetic diversity; varietal identification of crops; monitoring the composition of complex DNA samples (microbial, populations, etc.).
