The Unit for Laboratory Animal Medicine (ULAM) is pleased to host U-M strategic vendor Transnetyx for an informative BYOL (bring your own lunch) talk on Tuesday, August 19, from 12:30 PM – 1:30 PM on the medical campus.
This session is open to all members of the U-M animal care and use community. Prior registration is appreciated, but not required.
During the session, Transnetyx representatives will provide an overview of their products and services, including automated genotyping, the Transnetyx TAGCenter Program, genetic monitoring, microbiome analysis, and colony management software.
About Transnetyx Products and Services
This service is fully automated and includes results delivered within 72 hours, with a proven accuracy rate of 99.97%. Genotyping services are available for mice, zebrafish, rats, and more.
Shifting gut microbiomes can significantly alter the phenotype of mice. This service helps safeguard colonies by using shallow shotgun, next-generation sequencing to provide researchers with substrain-level insights that can be analyzed, managed, and shared with collaborators.
This array-based platform contains 10,000 SNP genetic markers covering 241 strains, and can aid in building fully congenic strains to help ensure reproducibility through better control of unknown variables related to genetic background.
The Transnetyx Colony software has been designed to provide better breeding insights that ensure optimal productivity of colonies. This software can be combined with Artificial Mouse Intelligence (AMI) to track breeders, ages, pups, Mendelian ratios, cages, and more, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
We hope you will join us on Tuesday, August 19, from 12:30 – 1:30 PM, to explore how these services may benefit your laboratory through improved operating efficiencies and enhanced staff productivity.
