STA Genomics offers molecular marker services that assist plant breeders throughout the world in quickly and accurately selecting critical traits that enhance seed quality and plant breeding programs for the agricultural, horticultural, viticultural, and ornamental industries.

The application of genomics allows you to identify physical characteristics at the molecular level, thus lending a scientific hand in creating and replicating elite varieties. STA Genomics can support your plant breeding and seed production programs by applying molecular markers for trait selection and mapping, or variety and hybrid genotyping. This gives you critical information to greatly improve the quality of field and vegetable crops, reduce product development time, and ensure proper seed variety identification and protection.

We provide a high price-to-quality return on your DNA analysis investment. Our dedicated and skilled staff members can quickly understand your individual program needs, and help you find recombinants and segregants that set your breeding program apart. In-house experts at STA Genomics provide an analysis report along with consultation that is immediately applicable to your program. As with all STA Laboratories testing, confidentially is maintained to protect you and your proprietary information.
