Genotyping and sequencing for genetic traits of companion animals and livestock
Genotyping and sequencing of genetic traits enables animal breeders to make knowledge-based breeding decisions to produce healthy offspring with the expected physical phenotype, therefore allowing for faster achievement of breeding goals. Understanding how genomics influences animal health, welfare, phenotype, and medical predispositions contributes to improved species-appropriate handling and to the development of new therapeutic drugs.
MACHEREY-NAGEL offers specific products for reliable genomic DNA extraction from a diverse set of veterinary sample materials, allowing for more accurate downstream genetic analysis.

Direct PCR for genotyping
The NucleoType direct PCR products allow for rapid and reliable genotyping experiments without the requirement of DNA extraction or pretreatment of sample specimens:
The direct NucleoType Blood PCR kit is designed for rapid genotyping from whole blood (treated with EDTA, citrate, or heparin as anticoagulant) and blood dried on blood cards as sample material, without the need to purify DNA from blood:
- Blood Transfer Tool included
- Inhibitor Removal Pearls for superior PCR results
- Designed for human and animal blood samples
The direct NucleoType Mouse PCR kit is designed for rapid mouse typing experiments with common samples such as tail clips, ear punches, and hair samples:
- DNA preparation within 5 minutes
- Loading dye included for subsequent gel electrophoresis
- Designed for tail, ear, blood and even hair samples
