Abalone
Available Applications:
LD
AQUAarray Low Density
Number of SNPs: Up to 1,000Application:
- Genetic Overview (GO) Analysis
- Parentage Assignment
- Marker Assisted Selection
- Identification of Genetic Sex
- Species / Strain / Population Identification
- Traceability Management
NOTE: LD applications vary from species to species.

Integrating DNA technology into abalone breeding programs offers significant advantages. The choice of low-density (LD), medium-density (MD), or high-density (HD) SNP genotyping tools determines specific benefits and returns on investment.
For breeders starting their genomics journey with limited knowledge of abalone populations, we recommend the AQUAarray LD Abalone panel. It provides crucial insights into genetic architecture, relatedness, inbreeding, and parentage with fewer than 200 SNPs. These insights help calculate estimated breeding values (EBVs) for genetic merit.
Our dedicated AQUAarray LD Abalone genotyping panel is tailored to the specific needs of abalone producers. It differentiates between distinct abalone strains, such as Blacklip and Greenlip, providing personalized genetic insights for informed breeding decisions and program optimization.
