“…SNP detection does not involve gel electrophoresis, which is relatively slow and labour intensive, thereby it is more suitable for high throughput genotyping methods [ 36 ]. In addition to the SNPlex™ Genotyping System (Applied Biosystems Inc., [ 32 ]) used in this study, a wide array of technologies have now been developed, including chip-based (Affymetrix, [ 37 ]) and BeadArray (Illumina Inc., [ 38 ]) technologies, all providing efficient and reliable methods for large scale SNP surveys.…”
