Extend genomic selection to the entire herd with this expert-designed genotyping array featuring scalable content at an economical price.
Product Highlights
The BovineLD BeadChip microarray kit enables accurate genotyping to understand the impact of genetics on milk production, reproduction, health, and more. Delivering scalable, expert-selected content at an economical price, it allows you to extend genomic selection to the entire herd. This array offers:
A robust imputation tool to estimate genomic breeding value accurately
High call rates, with demonstrated imputation efficiency of > 98%
Expertly selected content that can be enhanced with up to 80,000 custom markers
Contains all 200 SNPs on the ISAG panel for bovine parentage (100 core SNPs and 100 additional SNPs)
The ability to interrogate up to 24 samples in parallel
Cost-Effective Genotyping of Herd Animals
The BovineLD v2.0 BeadChip, together with the Infinium BovineSNP50, Infinium BovineHD, and iSelect Custom BeadChips, creates a broad genotyping portfolio that breeders can rely on to characterize genetic variation and accurately estimate genomic breeding value.
While the BovineHD and BovineSNP50 BeadChips provide power to interrogate genetic variation in high-value animals and support genome-wide studies, the BovineLD v2.0 BeadChip enables the cost-effective genotyping of lower-value animals.
High Imputation Accuracy
The strategically selected SNPs possess demonstrated reliability, high average minor allele frequency (MAF), uniform distribution across the bovine genome, and excellent imputation performance for a range of global dairy breeds.
