PreventionGenetics performs genotyping of human DNA polymorphisms in support of biomedical research. We type Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs), diallelic Insertion/Deletion Polymorphisms (indels) and Short Tandem Repeat Polymorphisms (STRPs) (also called Microsatellites). We have also developed a powerful panel of Ancestry Informative Markers (AIMs), based on SNPs, which is excellent for determining geoancestry. In addition, we offer both whole genome scans and fine mapping.

Experience of our staff in human genotyping is second to none. PreventionGenetics personnel have over 20 years of genotyping experience (AIMs, SNPs, Indels, STRPs). We have assisted in the mapping of hundreds of disease genes. In addition, we have identified and characterized many thousands of human DNA polymorphisms, constructed some of the most widely used human genetic maps, and assembled many human genome screening sets of markers.

Our novel array tape technology allows us to perform high throughput genotyping for small to medium sized projects (<250 polymorphisms) with unlimited sample capacity. This flexible system also allows for complete customization to meet the needs of our customers.

At PreventionGenetics we have an extensive quality control and assurance system which allows us to offer our services at highly competitive costs and with fast turnover without sacrificing data quality. Genotyping error rates are typically under 0.5% and with clean genomic DNA, genotyping completion rates are > 98%.

PreventionGenetics will also store your research DNA samples. We offer continuously monitored freezers with multiple backup systems and remote storage of secondary aliquots.
