Whole genome scanning is a powerful technique used to measure linkage disequilibrium, a condition where the observed frequencies of haplotypes in a population do not agree with predicted haplotype frequencies. Linkage disequilibrium analysis is often the first step in identifying candidate genes associated with a particular disease or drug response.

Polymorphic DNA Technologies offers whole genome scanning using automated fluorescent microsatellite analysis. We offer scanning at multiple densities including 20, 10 and 5 centimorgans. Samples are analyzed using ABI 3730 XL DNA sequencers. There is a 48 sample minimum.
