Overview
The purpose of this test is to perform primary data analysis on genotyping-by-sequencing data from 96 samples. It aims to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and other genetic variants that may be associated with diseases or traits. This analysis is essential for researchers and clinicians to understand genetic diversity, map disease genes, and support breeding programs.

Understanding Your Results
SNP
May be benign, pathogenic, or of unknown significance
Action: Correlate with phenotype and family history
Indel
Can cause frameshift or splicing alterations
Action: Assess impact on protein function
Copy Number Variation
May contribute to disease
Action: Confirm with additional methods
If you have a family history of genetic disorders, unexplained symptoms, or are considering reproductive planning, consult a genetic counselor or clinical geneticist.
Limitations
