Specific-Locus Amplified Fragment Sequencing (SLAF-Seq)

High-throughput genotyping, especially on large-scale population, is a fundamental step in genetic association studies, which provides genetic basis for functional gene discovery, evolutionary analysis, etc. Instead of deep whole genome re-sequencing, reduced representation genome sequencing (RRGS) is introduced to minimize sequencing cost per sample, while maintain reasonable efficiency on genetic marker discovery. This is commonly achieved by extracting restriction fragment within given size range, which is named reduced representation library (RRL). Specific-locus amplified fragment sequencing (SLAF-Seq) is a self-developed strategy for SNP genotyping with or without a reference genome. 
Platform: Illumina NovaSeq 6000

Service Advantages

High marker discovery efficiency - High-throughput sequencing technology assists SLAF-Seq in discovering hundreds of thousands of tags within the whole genome.

Low dependence on the genome - It can be applied to species either with or without a reference genome.

Flexible scheme design - Single-enzyme, dual-enzyme, multi-enzyme digestion and various types of enzymes, all can be selected to cater different research goal or species. Pre-evaluation in silico is used to assure an optimal enzyme design.

Efficient enzymatic digestion - Pre-experiment was carried out to optimize the conditions, which makes the formal experiment stable and reliable. Fragment collection efficiency can achieve over 95%.

Evenly distributed SLAF tags - SLAF tags are evenly distributed in all chromosomes to the greatest extent, achieving an average of 1 SLAF per 4 kb.

Effective avoidance of repeats - Repetitive sequence in SLAF-Seq data is reduced to lower than 5%, especially in species with high level of repeats, such as wheat, maize, etc.

Extensive experience -Over 2000 closed SLAF-Seq projects on hundreds of species covering plants, mammals, birds, insects, aqua-organisms, etc.

Self-developed bioinformatic workflow - An integrated bioinformatic workflow for SLAF-Seq was developed by BMKGENE to ensure reliability and accuracy of final output.
