Eureka™ Ovine Parentage Panel-163 plex (Applied Biosystems™)

Accelerate genetic improvement in sheep by increasing pedigree accuracy

Eureka™ Ovine Parentage Panel is a comprehensive parentage panel for sheep, providing superior power to accurately verify parentage. It was developed for use in globally diverse breeds of sheep. The panel covers 163 parentage SNPs for high accuracy, and includes a subset of 109 SNPs for use with North American breeds.

Eureka Ovine Parentage Panel offers an affordable, high-throughput, and robust targeted genotyping by sequencing (GBS) technology to parentage studies, increasing the accuracy of ovine breeding programs. The availability of over 3,000 barcodes enables processing of over 3,000 samples in a single sequencing run for fast turnaround time. The low marker-density panel ensures accurate interrogation of all the ovine parentage markers in all regions of the genome. The 163-SNP panel can be customized to include additional markers for enhancing the accuracy and value of the panel.

Highlights of Eureka Ovine Parentage Panel:

• Highly informative and well-characterized markers - covers 163 parentage SNPs for higher accuracy, with minimal overlap of highly informative SNP markers.
• Ideal for North American breeds - contains a subset of 109 SNPs for use with North American breeds.
• Robust marker selection - ensures genotypes through our internal validation processes.
• Affordable - use with globally diverse breeds and achieve high overall genotyping efficiency and economy of scale.
• Automated analysis - Eureka^™ Analysis Suite manages samples, ensures next-generation sequencing (NGS) index combination integrity, and enables genotyping data analysis with a single software package.
