Genotyping services are available for any species, provided libraries have first been developed by GIS. All work performed by GIS is unconditionally guaranteed and the scope of work and costs are described below. PHASE I Develop four microsatellite libaries Sequence a total of 240 clones Design primers for all microsatellite-containing sequences Cost: $12,500 PHASE II Synthesize and test primers to identify candidate loci against eight individuals Provide at least 40 primer pairs that amplify against genomic DNA of the eight samples Cost: $7,500 PHASE III Characterization by testing against 30 individuals using 25 loci by polyacrylamide electrophesis Charcterization includes determining allele frequencies, heterozygosity and absence of null alleles Cost: $2,500 Upon completion of Phase III, GIS can proceed to genotyping. The genotyping cost per individual is $5.00 a data point, i.e. if GIS types using 10 loci, the cost per individual is $50; 12 loci is $60 per individual etc. Please call or e-mail GIS for a specific project quote.
