How SNP Fingerprinting Can Support Early Diagnoses
How SNP Fingerprinting Can Support Early Diagnoses Introduction In an exciting collaboration between MIGAL-Northern R&D and Gene-G Applied Genetics, a new solution has been developed to support mango breeding. This project focused on utilizing genetic fingerprinting to analyze a wide array of mango varieties, aiming to genetically identify offspring from specific cross-pollination pairings. The […]
A New Standard for Seed’s Genetic Purity Assurance
A New Standard for Seed’s Genetic Purity Assurance The value chain of all crops ends with us enjoying a fresh salad, bread, or tomato sauce pasta, and starts with the seed’s breeder. Seeds are being sold for premium prices everyday around the world and hold great promise to everyone in the supply chain. Specifically, the growers are aware […]
High throughput Plant Genotyping
High throughput Plant Genotyping Modern day plant breeding and plant research is based on the understanding of plant genetics. The advance in Next Generation Sequencing technologies NGS and their availability enabled more and more crop genes and even whole genomes being discovered, deciphered, and better understood. Genome Wide Association Studies GWAS, Quantitative Trait Loci QTL […]
Plant DNA Extraction
Plant DNA Extraction Modern day plant breeding and plant research is based on the understanding of the plant genetics. There has been a wide technological advance in DNA sequencing and testing methods over the years: From the days of ‘Southern blots’ to RAPD and RFLP DNA markers, to the introduction of PCR methods, and CAPS, […]
What is Allelic Discrimination Genotyping?
What is Allelic Discrimination Genotyping? How does a realtime PCR allelic discrimination also called Genotyping work? What are the different realtime PCR probe formats to do allelic discrimination? What are the pros and cons of each? Allelic discrimination are methods to discriminate between 2 or more different alleles. For example in a [G/A] SNP […]

Cannabis Genotyping at Gene-G
Cannabis Genotyping at Gene-G Gene-G now offers a 42 SNP screen for Cannabis breeders. SNPs were carefully chosen to fingerprint unique cannabis lines. Cannabis (Cannabis sativa L.) is an influential yet controversial agricultural plant, with a very long and prominent history of recreational, medicinal, and industrial usages. https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpls.2020.573299/full The global cannabis market size was valued at […]
Tomato DNA Markers
Tomato DNA Markers The cultivated tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is the second most commonly consumed vegetable crop (after potato) and unquestionably the most popular garden crop in the world. In the United States, it is the most economically important vegetable crop, and is fifth in crop value after maize, soybean, wheat, and cotton. With […]
