At Matis the focus has been on development in genotyping. The methods are based on microsatellate markers repeats within the genome as well as DNA sequencing

Several research and development projects have been carried out within this field. Novel microsatellite markers in cod have been found and developed into usable mulitplex PCR methods enabling simultanious analysis of multiple genotypes. Many sets of genetic markers of various species have been developed and utilized in population genetics, for breading purposes, partental analyses and for tracing of origin. Research projects were phenotypes such as growth are linked with genotypes are currently carried out.

The company has considerable experience and knowledge in this field as well as high tech equipment such as ABI 3730 DNA analyzer and FLX-454 sequencing machine which enables high throughput processing of samples. The list below gives information on the genotyping markers already developed by Matis.
