Why do you need to use genetic fingerprinting in aquaculture ?

In aquaculture, genetic fingerprinting is the method of choice for:
- individual identification,
- parentage assignement,
- genetic variability and inbreeding assessment,
- optimal crosses design and
- genetic stocks evaluation.

Why use MultiTAAG® kits for your genotyping ?

Microsatellites markers (or STRs - Short Tandem Repeats) are highly variable markers with co-dominant alleles.
They are known to be powerful and precise markers, although their use with traditional methods can be time consuming. To overcome this problem, TAAG Genetics has developed the MultiTAAG® fingerprinting kits.

Our genotyping kits use multiplexed STRs amplification combined with fluorescent primers, allowing you to obtain high resolution and fully informative fingerprint in one reaction.

Advantages

Only one amplification reaction per sample
Fast
Cost effective
Accurate automated detection on capillary sequencer
No more cross-contamination
Flexible: you can also ask for our full genotyping service and receive an easy-to-read allele table

We can also design custom kits for your species of interest.
