A Genotyping League of Its Own

Flex-Seq® Ex-L is the ultra-specific, ultra-efficient, ultra-high-throughput targeted genotyping solution for:

  • Genomic selection
  • Genome edit verification
  • Marker-assisted selection & backcrossing
  • Parentage testing
  • Assessing population genetics & structure
  • Traceability

Flex-Seq® Ex-L is designed for routine, high-volume breeding, starting from tissue/DNA to genotyping results in as few as two weeks.

FAST

  • Up to 2-week turnaround time – tissue/DNA to SNPs
  • Custom marker panel available in as few as 8 weeks

FOCUSED

  • Up to 98% marker recovery
  • Up to 99% on-target sequencing
  • 99% agreement between technical reps
  • 98% agreement with array technology
  • Greater balance & specificity than multiplexed PCR

FLEXIBLE

  • Any species/organism
  • Genotype public, proprietary and novel markers
  • Legacy data compatible
  • Update Flex-Seq® Ex-L panels by adding/removing markers for evolving needs
  • Low DNA input requirements

FLEX-SEQ® EX-L AT A GLANCE

Flex-Seq® Ex-L genotyping panels target up to 20,000 markers:

  • SNPs & haplotypes
  • Genes
  • Short Indels

Flex-Seq® Ex-L uses multiplexed hybridization for cleaner, more effective results vs multiplexed PCR

  • High quality data = high quality selections for breeding.

More adaptive than genotyping arrays

  • Easily customized panels enable greater flexibility to genotype specific markers and legacy datasets
  • Flex-Seq® Ex-L readily scales to any breeding volume

More reliable than GBS / RADseq

  • Confident, repeatable genotyping results (including polyploids)

More cost-effective than both

  • Industry-leading price points and efficiency at equivalent marker densities

Flex-Seq® Ex-L Panel Performance

Summary metrics of genotyping results using a 5,000 marker panel. Data Uniformity displays the percentage of markers with >0.2x mean sequence depth (93% – 95%). Markers Recovered shows the percentage of markers (97% – 98%) with sufficient sequencing depth for accurate genotyping (i.e. 10X per haploid genome). Sequencing Reads on Target reflects the reaction specificity, with 99% of all aligned sequencing data mapping to the intended targets.

The combination of high marker recovery, data uniformity and reaction specificity ensures efficiency and overall completeness of genotyping results with as many as 5,000 markers.
