Modern DNA sequencers: Confidence for Breeders

12. 9. 2025

We are a progressive laboratory that routinely uses state-of-the-art sequencers. We have the Illumina MiSeq in-house, and our panels are continuously updated to reflect the latest scientific knowledge. Every finding is reviewed by an expert, and you receive your results as clear, practical recommendations for breeding.

A detailed overview of diseases and target genes can be found in the testing PANELS for individual breeds at Genetic tests | GenoCan.eu

Modern Sequencing: Instead of reading one small fragment of DNA at a time, we read dozens to hundreds of regions at once – and repeatedly. Using our Illumina MiSeq platform means you get highly accurate, reproducible information about hereditary variants crucial for health and breeding decisions.

What This Means for Breeders

  • Maximum accuracy and reliability
    Deep sequencing of each sample dramatically reduces the risk of error and gives you confidence even in borderline results.
  • More confident breeding decisions – easier selection of combinations with minimal risk of inherited disorders.
  • Better planning for litter health – timely information to guide appropriate care and monitoring.
  • Fewer surprises, less uncertainty – precise results save time and costs in the long run.
  • Modern sequencers and their operation are not cheap — we therefore batch samples, and the turnaround time for panels can be 2–3 weeks.
