New England Biolabs (NEB®) announced the launch of the NEBNext Direct Genotyping Solution, representing the first capture-based approach for high-throughput genotyping for a wide variety of applications in Agricultural Biotechnology (AgBio).

"We are excited to introduce the NEBNext Direct Genotyping Solution, which was initially developed to address the demands of marker-assisted plant breeders for a cost-effective, high-throughput genotyping method," said Andrew Barry, Sr. Manager of Global Business Development at NEB. "The stringent requirements of plant breeding forced us to push the limits on reducing the cost per assay, while maintaining high-specificity for the target markers, resulting in a product with a wide range of utility"

The NEBNext Direct Genotyping Solution combines highly multiplexed, capture-based enrichment with maximum efficiency and next generation sequencing (NGS) to deliver a one day, automatable genotyping workflow. Applicable for marker ranges spanning 100 to 5,000 markers, pre-capture multiplexing of up to 96 samples, in addition to ...
