The kit is designed for molecular-genetic characterization of sheep for the purposes of kinship analysis and DNA individualization of animals, based on multiplex PCR analysis of 13 loci containing short tandem repeats (STRs).
The markers constitute a standard panel recommended by the International Society of Animal Genetics (ISAG).
The
Maestro Genetics OviSTR kit is a next-generation multiplex test system based on a unique DNA normalizing amplification technology. The exceptionally wide analytical range of the OviSTR kit
allows analysis to be performed without prior measurement and normalization of DNA concentration. The normalizing amplification technology ensures an optimal fluorescent signal level regardless of the amount of sample added to the reaction. Immediately after DNA extraction, the maximum amount of DNA preparation can be added to the amplification reaction, providing high assay sensitivity without the risk of “signal overload.”
