Overview of services

We provide a range of products and services underpinned by our technology:

• We offer genotyping services for a range of crops.
• Drawing from our extensive R&D experience, we offer development of DArT arrays for new species.
• DArT can be applied to the genome-wide study of DNA methylation.
• We also offer dedicated software and a DArT-specific Laboratory Information Management System.

Confidentiality:

The identity of the customer, identity of the samples and genotypic data are kept confidential at all times. Data are owned by the customer. DArT P/L has no IP rights on the data and places no restriction on their use.

Pricing:

Our pricing structure is based on a price per microtiter plate of 94 samples, currently set at $4,700 Australian Dollars. For smaller batches of samples, please contact us for a quote.

Data handling:

DArTdb, a dedicated database/LIMS, manages the large data sets generated, ensuring data integrity through bar code-based sample-tracking. Our technical and informatics infrastructure is capable of delivering whole genome fingerprints of hundreds of markers for 50,000 DNA samples per year, or about 20 million datapoints. We are in the process of increasing the throughput several-fold through development of further improvements to the technology.

Data reporting:

The genotypic data delivered by DArT P/L comprise the scores for all markers for each sample analysed. The customer identifies their preferred data format. Most customers currently receive data as an Excel table.
