Genotyping by Sequencing (GBS)

GBS is a cutting-edge method that combines sequencing technology with genotyping to offer a snapshot of genetic diversity. The process involves breaking DNA into smaller pieces using restriction enzymes, sequencing these fragments, and then analyzing the sequences to pinpoint genetic variations like SNPs. GBS is particularly favored in research and breeding programs for its efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Whole Genome Sequencing and Resequencing

WGS is like taking a complete genetic blueprint of an organism, providing a thorough view of its entire DNA. Resequencing, on the other hand, involves comparing the genome of an individual or population to a reference genome to uncover genetic differences. Both approaches are crucial for unraveling the complexities of genetic variation, studying hereditary diseases, and exploring genetic traits.

Reduced-Representation Genome Sequencing (RRGS)

RRGS is a savvy approach that zeroes in on key portions of the genome rather than sequencing it all. By focusing on specific regions through techniques like restriction enzyme digestion or targeted capture, RRGS balances cost and depth, making it ideal for studying genetic variation and conducting association studies with high precision.

Target Region Sequencing

Target Region Sequencing hones in on particular areas of the genome, providing a detailed look at specific genes or regions of interest.
