AgriPlex Connect Program (APC)

AgriPlex Connect

Community Genotyping Program

AgriPlex Genomics is providing plant and animal breeders the opportunity to use PlexSeq SNP genotyping panels at a discounted price and faster turnaround. In collaboration with consortia, we have constructed organism-specific SNP panels that can be used during certain times of the year to receive various benefits.

Complimentary DNA Extraction

DNA Extraction fees are waived for all samples submitted through AgriPlex Connect

Collective Discount

Participants may be eligible for a collective discount, calculated based on the total number of samples submitted by the community for each submission period.

Expedited Turnaround

Receive your PlexCall data report in just 2-3 weeks.

No Submission Minimum

A one-plate purchase is all that is required when submitting through APC, instead of our minimum requirement of 4 plates for standard genotyping projects. It is not required that all wells are filled.

Questions about your data?

When are panels run?

AgriPlex Genomics will set dates when certain crop or livestock specific panels are run. You can view our AgriPlex Connect submission deadlines on the AgriPlex Connect Calendar page.

We also post upcoming panel runs on the Home Page of our website, our social media platforms, and through crop and livestock-specific email announcements (see form below).

The development of PlexSeq SNP Panels:

AgriPlex Genomics coordinates the creation of various crop and livestock specific consortia. Each consortium consists of research professionals from both academia and industry. We are actively working to create new panels and update existing ones.

Those interested in the creation, development, or improvement of a PlexSeq panel will meet together virtually to define relevant genetic markers for current and upcoming panels.

If you would like to propose the creation of a new SNP panel, please contact us.
