For a variety of production animals, draft assemblies of the genome are nowadays available, as well as growing information about genetic variations such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). This enabled the design of whole-genome SNP chips which are increasingly used to map quantitative trait loci (QTLs) as well as loci associated with economical traits of production animals. CD genomics employs Illumina's unique BeadArray technology providing genotyping services for various production animals. Outstanding characteristics of the BeadArray technology include 100% quality control of every single array, and the high feature-redundancy providing high-confidence results.
