Trait Screening Services

What insights to expect

Data explaining why a customer's stock exhibits certain traits

How the genetics of the stock sample relates to the customer's other submitted samples or reference stock (i.e., comparison of key determinants)

Blueprint to optimize traits
(whether by targeted breeding or genetic optimization)

How we get from data to insight

Our scientists apply leading, proprietary bioinformatics to analyze your strain, provide relevant comparative details, and recommendations for optimization.

Gene Discovery

GTR will sequence your strain and perform a high-level analysis.

This includes the identification and location of genes relating to the customer's traits of interest including elements that control expression of those genes.

Variant Analysis

GTR will compare each of your strain’s genes of interest to reference gene sequences which will determine the strength of their expression. Our reports include the percentage similarity of the sample's gene to the reference gene sequence.

Phenotype Optimization

GTR will use its tools to inform your strain’s optimal path for future breeding or genetic modification.

This includes insights into potential future breeding or modification decisions and determination of suitability for Trait Optimization Services.
