A new genotyping tool for molecular breeding applications: GBS with AgriSeq target enrichment and Ion Torrent NGS

Genotyping by sequencing (GBS) uses massively parallel next-generation sequencing for association studies at unrivaled marker and sample densities. The Applied Biosystems™ AgriSeq™ technology approach highlighted here provides sequence information for the target markers free of prediction. We have increased the speed and sample throughput of the library preparation workflow by adapting it to a 384-well format that is automation-friendly and helps reduce reagent consumption. We are also developing additional barcode adapters to enable increased sample multiplexing.

These new approaches have the potential to increase sample throughput and reduce reagent-associated costs per sample.
