The partnership will assist in modern sequencing and genotyping technologies to aquaculture species

NEOGEN Corporation has partnered with the Center for Aquaculture Technologies (CAT) to deliver high-quality genotyping services customised to the unique needs of aquaculture producers. The complementary expertise of NEOGEN and CAT will apply modern sequencing and genotyping technologies to aquaculture species. 

The partnership will enable organisations of any size to realise the benefits of increased accuracy of selection and gains in performance by incorporating genetic markers into their selective breeding programmes.

“We are pleased to strengthen our partnership with the Center for Aquaculture Technologies and continue providing innovative genomic solutions that strengthen our global food chain,” says John Adent, President and CEO, NEOGEN.

NEOGEN and CAT have previously partnered to develop cost-effective genomic solutions for the aquaculture sector, including the GeneSeek Genomic Profiler (GGP) 50K genotyping array for North American Atlantic salmon and white leg shrimp, which are now commercially available through CAT, as part of their AQUAarray line.
