SNP Fingerprinting
Generate a multi locus SNP fingerprint for sample tracking or swap detection
We offer SNP fingerprinting service for human samples: a measurement of genetic variation of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs). This application can be used for genotyping, gender confirmation and sample tracking.
- USEQ performs SNP typing by Nimagen’s EasySeq™ Human DNA Sample Identification Kit | Innovators in DNA Sequencing Technologies - NimaGen
The panel cosists of 64 loci, including 61 autosomal and 3 Y-chromosomal SNPs. We can analyse up to 384 samples at the same time, with a preferred minimum of 48. Low input needed (minimal concentration of 5 ng/μl (qubit), with a minimal volume of 5 μl). Amplicons are sequenced and the genotypes determined by the variantcaller pipelines. Results are shared as fastq files (sequencing data) and VCF (genotype file).

Consultancy Service
For expert advice on your NGS-based research and the possibilities USEQ offers to get the most out of your samples: request a meeting at our consulting hour, each Friday at 1:30pm. Experimental design, technology, platform and library preparation choice, standard bioinformatics analysis, results and follow-up experiments are discussed. The facility manager ensures to bring the right experts from any of the participating organisations to the table.
