This webinar will present the recent advancements in custom SNP panel design using whole genome analysis and review various genotyping technologies, optimized for different agricultural use cases.
During this session you’ll learn:
• Why understanding your diversity is key to efficient and applicable genotyping
• Which various genotyping methods should be applied for different species and use cases
• Why the logistics of the genotyping is as important for success as the data itself
• How advanced computational tools may reduce the cost per data point
• The importance of understanding the full breeding process for tailoring the optimal genotyping solution
