There are various types of marker systems in use today, each with its own strengths. Marker-assisted breeding is often most effectively served using a combination of different marker platforms. DNA LandMarks has expertise in a wide variety of marker systems including:

• Restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLP)
• Cleaved amplified polymorphic sequences (CAPS)
• Expressed sequence tags (EST)
• Simple sequence repeats (SSR)
• Inter MITE polymorphisms (IMP)
• Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP)

Depending on the project parameters and available genomic resources DNA LandMarks will work with our client to find the best technology platform to deliver results effectively and efficiently.
