Animal DNA Testing Services

Biogenetic Services, Inc. uses PCR/SSR, SNP, and RFLP based methods to fingerprint (genotype) individuals. The Genotypic information is used for animal identification, meat product tracing (Production to Consumption), paternity analysis and forensic analysis for any animal species listed.

Biogenetic Services, Inc. also utilizes PCR/SSR, SNP and RFLP based methods to fingerprint (genotype) individuals to determine whether an animal may be resistant or susceptible to particular diseases (e.g. BSE (Mad Cow Disease) resistance in cattle or Scrapie resistance in sheep) or to diagnose the presence of particular organisms which cause particular diseases in animals.

3 BSE (Mad Cow Disease) Resistance Test, exclusive license, Texas A&M University System.

4 In fish, BGS utilizes qualitative single and nested PCR or quantitative Real-Time PCR to diagnose the presence of Myxobolus cerabralis, the parasite that causes whirling disease in Salmonids (salmon, trout). In this latter case, The University of California has awarded a license to BGS for the use of Dr. Ron Hedrick, et. al. DNA based diagnostic test for detecting the Myxobolus cerabralis organism.
