Benefits

Highly accurate amplification of probe mixtures is very beneficial for high throughput assays such as variation detection or genotyping. The invention produces high amounts of probe pools without changing their sequence composition or their respective ratios. KeyGene has proven that this method is capable of economically producing probe sets that can be successfully used in high multiplexed SNPSelect assays.

Vision

Oligonucleotide production is the bottleneck in many state-of-the-art detection methods, such as, but not limited to, genotyping methods that assist in crop breeding. The present invention that allows for the economic production of high-quality oligonucleotide probes is a game-changer.
