Animal genome size determination and ploidy analysis have always been important methods for studying species evolution, species classification, and species relationship.
Molluscs have always been a blind spot for genome size analysis due to their indeterminate body size, mixed somatic cells and germ cells, and difficulty in sampling. At the same time, mollusks are not easy to be transported and stored, and the test time is very long, also there are many impurities in mollusks, which will cause great interference to the test results.
Lifeasible has been deeply engaged in genome size determination and ploidy analysis for more than ten years, and has accumulated rich industry experience. Our expert team has successfully purified high-quality DNA samples without impurities by optimizing the extraction process of mollusks, and we also optimized the detection process of the instrument to get more accurate data.
We can provide customized services for our customers, whether it is snails, oysters, scallops or other mollusks, we will develop a set of extraction and testing procedures for customers' samples to ensure the perfect presentation of the results.
Figure 1. Analysis of DNA content and ploidy in plants. (A, B) root tissues were chopped with a fresh razor blade, stained with PI, and acquired on the BD Accuri C6. On an FL2 vs FL3 plot, nuclear events cluster in a narrow diagonal region, (C) Gating on these nuclear events, FL2 fluorescence shows clear peaks corresponding to cell ploidy.
We offer complete, professional molluscs and other animal genome size and ploidy detection services, as well as customized experimental protocols based on your project requirements and sample characteristics. For more information or any inquiry requirements, please contact Lifeasible.
