The Salers Society database has many historical sires with microsatellite profiles and one of the issues with starting to use SNP profiles for Microsatellites have been used for DNA parentage verification since the 1990s.

Using NEOGEN’s range of GGP SNP chips, these much larger SNP profiles can simultaneously be used for both genomic evaluation and for SNP parentage verification. parentage testing is that they are not “backwards compatible” with the old microsatellites. Therefore, it is necessary to transition the database This technology has recently been superseded by SNP technology. With the advent of SNP chips, it is now from the old microsatellite technology to the new SNP technology. possible to test tens of thousands of SNP markers simultaneously on any individual animal. Using NEOGEN’s range of GGP SNP chips, these much larger SNP profiles can simultaneously be used for both genomic This can be done using a few different approaches. If a sire or dam only has an historic STR profile available, then a combination of SNP evaluation and for SNP parentage verification. and STR profiles can be utilised to carry out verification. NEOGEN can either create a SNP profile on a parent if a new sample can be provided or if a new sample cannot be provided then NEOGEN can provide an STR profile as well as a SNP profile on the offspring to enable accurate verification.
