69-Marker Soybean Genotyping GBAS Panel Now Available at CSP Labs
CSP Labs has added a 69-marker Genotyping by Amplicon Sequencing (GBAS) panel for soybean to its growing portfolio of crop-specific molecular testing services. Developed to support routine genetic testing, the panel provides seed companies and breeding programs with another option for applications such as variety identification, hybrid purity assessment, and seed lot quality control.
The soybean GBAS panel evaluates 69 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers within a single assay. Based on published soybean SNP research, the marker set has been incorporated into a laboratory testing panel that analyzes multiple genetic markers simultaneously, providing a standardized approach for routine genotyping applications.
Common Applications
The soybean GBAS panel supports a range of genetic testing applications, including:
- Variety identification and confirmation
- Hybrid purity assessment
- Seed lot quality control
- Breeding and germplasm management support
As CSP Labs continues to add new crop-specific GBAS panels, customers gain access to a broader selection of standardized molecular testing solutions for agricultural applications.

FAQs
How does GBAS differ from single-marker genotyping?
Single-marker assays evaluate one genetic location at a time. Genotyping by Amplicon Sequencing (GBAS) analyzes multiple markers within a single assay, providing additional genetic information that can assist with variety differentiation and genetic identity verification.
Is the soybean GBAS panel intended for routine testing?
Yes. The soybean GBAS panel is designed for routine laboratory applications, including quality control, variety verification, and hybrid purity assessment. Customers with additional molecular testing objectives are encouraged to contact CSP Labs to discuss project-specific requirements.
Are additional GBAS panels available?
Yes. CSP Labs offers GBAS panels for multiple crop species and continues to expand its portfolio of crop-specific assays. If a panel for your crop is not currently available, our team can discuss your testing objectives and available testing options.
Why does the soybean GBAS panel include 69 markers?
The soybean panel evaluates 69 SNP markers within a single assay. Using multiple markers allows genetic information to be collected from numerous locations across the genome, supporting applications such as variety identification, hybrid purity assessment, and seed lot quality control.
