Great results - LGC's GBS service solved all our genetic mapping issues in one go!
Setting up genetic markers for populations in new plant species
Some of my postdoc colleagues and I needed to setup a high-throughput genotyping system for new species of plants we were working with in our research program. We settled in on GBS and set up a project with LGC to try it in one of our gene-mapping populations, and all we had to do was sample a small amount of tissue and they took care of the rest. We received high-quality data that we needed a bit of help with analysis to sort out - so we took their bioinformatic service which gave us an excellent number of high-quality SNP markers to work with. The communication was strong throughout the project and the service was very thorough. We got our gene of interest mapped in a matter of days from the point we received the data.

Genotyping by sequencing (GBS), also known as Sequence-based genotyping (SBG), has become the method of choice for high throughput discovery of SNPs and simultaneous genotyping in multiple DNA samples. It combines restriction enzyme-mediated complexity reduction with the high-throughput sequencing capacity of Illumina platforms to score random markers across an entire genome
