Luke needs a service for genotyping of rainbow trout individuals with Axiom Rainbow trout Genotyping Array (384 format).

Luke needs a service for genotyping of rainbow trout individuals with the ThermoFisher Axiom Rainbow trout Genotyping Array (384 format). The SNP array to be used is the ThermoFisher Axiom Trout Genotyping Array (384 format) for ~57,501 markers in 384 format to ensures a broad coverage of the trout genome to provide representation of all regions in the genome. Luke will send fin tissue samples to the service provider and the service provider will:

— extract DNA from the fin clips,

— purchase the arrays,

— use Axiom Trout Genotyping Array (384 format) to generate SNP information on each fish,

— return the remaining tissue of each sample in the form of homogenate or the tissue itself,

— return all data to Luke.

Each sample has an individual code to which the SNP data will be connected. The genotyping will be done approximately for a total of 3840 individuals, ~2688 individuals in year 2019 and 1152 individuals in years 2020-2021. Samples can be send in 2-3 large batches.
