Phenotyping Strategies
The constant flow of phenotypic data is a cornerstone of any breeding programme. Unfortunately, data can be expensive and time-consuming to collect. It can be lost or mislabelled or decentralised – existing as a mix of hand-written notes and random spreadsheets. At AbacusBio, we create tailored practical solutions to maximize data throughput within your budget. We can also assist with data tracking and centralization tasks using Dtreo and Gemview or build a custom database solution.
Genotyping Strategies
There are a LOT of genotyping/ sequencing options out there. You might even be considering the possibility of an in-house option? Whether it’s simple marker-assisted selection, or genomic prediction in an autopolyploid species, AbacusBio can provide clarity by helping you select the best genotyping technology and examine the provider options based on your short and long-term goals.
Bioinformatics
You have an abundance of data. Yet, not enough time or resources to quickly translate the data into usable insights. AbacusBio consultants can provide support by doing genome assembly, variant calling, LD analysis, population structure analysis, linkage mapping, association mapping, differential expression, and candidate gene mining. Outcomes may include reduced pressure on your team, report generation, training, the creation of a repeatable analysis pipeline.
Field Trial Design (Plants Only)
AbacusBio is experienced in developing statistically sound experimental designs that answer key research questions. With experience in numerous species and programme structures, we can identify the specific design and analysis that fits the unique situation. We are also capable of analysing the trade-off between experiment size and data quality to scale experiments appropriately, ensuring your resources and time are maximised.
