The Targeted GBS technology is based on Multiplex Targeted Resequencing technology which is performed on the IonTorrent system (Thermo Fisher Scientific). The system transforms genetic research with ultrahigh-multiplex PCR primer pools designed for fast and simple production of thousands of targeted amplicons from samples containing as little as 1 ng of input DNA.

Targeted GBS using Ion Torrent technology delivers simple and fast library construction for affordable targeted resequencing of specific genes or marker panels of interest.

The technology is optimally suited for applications involving 100 – 5.000 markers.
