SNP Discovery at a Fraction of the Cost!

Ecotilling costs only a fraction of the conventional approach of sequencing a given locus for every sample under investigation. For
SNP discovery, Ecotilling can be used to compare alleles for variations at a locus. Samples with no genetic variations are quickly
identified, eliminating the need to sequence them.

Sequencing is further reduced since samples can be scored by haplotype and only one sample from each unique haplotype needs to be sequenced to characterize the haplotype.

EFFICIENT SCREENING

Ecotilling can also be used as a high throughput screening technique. A single 4300 DNA Analysis System can achieve the following results*:

• Over 750,000 base pairs screened per run (1 kb per sample).

• Up to 2300 samples, or over 2 million base pairs screened per day.

* Results are dependent on species and other factors
