40-Marker Lettuce Genotyping GBAS Panel Now Available at CSP Labs
CSP Labs is now offering a new 40-marker Genotyping by Amplicon Sequencing (GBAS) panel for lettuce, developed to support quality control applications including variety identification and genetic purity assessment.
This expanded marker panel provides improved genome coverage compared to lower-density lettuce panels, resulting in higher discriminatory power while maintaining cost efficiency on a per-sample basis. The increased resolution allows for more reliable differentiation among closely related and genetically similar lettuce varieties, supporting decision-making across breeding, production, and seed quality workflows.
Designed for Quality Control and Variety Verification
The 40-marker lettuce GBAS panel is well suited for applications where clear varietal distinction and genetic consistency are critical. By increasing marker density across the genome, the panel enhances the ability to distinguish samples that may not be feasible with lower-density approaches.
Common use cases include:
- Variety identification and confirmation
- Genetic purity assessment
- Quality control for seed lots
- Support for breeding and germplasm management programs
This panel is particularly valuable in lettuce, where closely related varieties and narrow genetic differences can present challenges for differentiation using traditional low-density genotyping tools.
Efficient, Scalable GBAS Workflow
As with CSP Labs’ existing GBAS offerings, the lettuce panel is processed using a scalable, amplicon-based sequencing workflow that balances data quality, throughput, and cost. The approach enables multiplexing of samples while delivering consistent, reproducible results suitable for routine testing programs
The expanded marker set improves analytical resolution without increasing per-sample cost, making it a practical option for both small and large-scale testing needs.
Supporting Reliable Genetic Insights
The addition of the 40-marker lettuce GBAS panel reflects CSP Labs’ ongoing investment in applied genomic tools that support real-world industry needs. Rather than focusing on experimental discovery, these panels are designed to provide dependable, actionable genetic data that integrates smoothly into existing quality control and breeding operations.
