How is the genotyping done?
CIDR utilizes automated fluorescent microsatellite analysis using a marker set composed primarily of trinucleotide and tetranucleotide repeats. This marker set consists of ~400 primer pairs with average spacing of 10 cM throughout the genome. There are no gaps in the map larger than 18 cM. CIDR currently multiplexes the products both pre- and post-amplification.
