The Science
 The information provided by BGS includes inbred purity analyses, single and multicross hybrid purity and hybridity analyses, early generation analyses, genotyping (fingerprinting), and population (including multicross hybrids) analyses, fertility analyses, pest diagnostics and GMO and non-GMO DNA analyses and transgenic (event) analyses. In addition Human DNA genotyping analyses for human identity are provided by our Human Identity Genetics Laboratory.
