Overview

Triticarte Pty Ltd is dedicated to providing high-throughput, low cost whole-genome profiling services for wheat and barley.

Triticarte Pty Ltd is the exclusive provider of Diversity Arrays Technology (DArT^®) services for wheat and barley.

Triticarte^® applications of interest to cereal researchers include:

Improved selection of breeders’ lines for traits with complex inheritance
Accelerated backcrossing to maximise recovery of BC parental genome
Introgression of wild relatives into adapted backgrounds and breaking of linkage blocks
Rapid construction of genetic maps relevant to specific germplasm
Low-cost gene discovery using bulked segregant analysis or “association mapping”
Germplasm fingerprinting

Applying Diversity Arrays Technology (DArT^®)

Triticarte^® uses genomic representations of wheat and barley that cover the genetic diversity of each species. The polymorphic DArT^® markers scored can be used to establish genetic relationships among individuals of a species, or a group of related species. DArT^® accurately detects genetic relationships, and measures the level of genetic heterogeneity within cultivars.

Triticarte^® provides a cost-effective “DNA to data” service for genetic analysis, delivering a comprehensive genome profile of thousands of DArT^® markers per 50ng sample of DNA.
