Since retinal degeneration mutations are common in mice and some other research models, it is important to detect and control for the presence of these genetic mutations when performing retinal disorder studies or behavioral studies where a mixture of sighted and non-sighted animals will impact results. To help researchers identify carrier animals this SNP panel includes the following assays:
Results are GTCAssured with each sample tested using a single assay with two independent runs. We utilize a proprietary DNA isolation methodology to maximize DNA quality and perform PCR melt curve analysis to generate quality, unambiguous results. Results will be delivered in 3-business days and include all methods and raw data for complete evaluation and publication purposes.

GTCA provides genetic testing and colony management services that support fast and efficient scientific discovery.
