Insect Genome Size and Ploidy Detection Service

Due to their small size, insects have more impurities in their bodies. It is difficult to sample and analyze insects, and the amorphous germ cells of insects will also interfere with the result of genome size and ploidy. In addition, most insects are protected by hard shells, which makes sampling more difficult.

To achieve large-scale genome and ploidy analysis of insects, after years of research, Lifeasible has improved traditional assay methods to be more adaptable to a wide variety of insect structures. We have developed different sample extraction methods for insects with different body shapes, shell types and reproductive structures, and solved the problems that may arise in insect genome size and ploidy detection through customized solutions.
