Completion of the human genome project led to an explosion in available genomic information. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have emerged as a versatile and powerful tool for genotyping almost all variant species. The unique technological platform developed by GAG BioScience is exclusively based on SNP detection and allows genotyping of up to 60,000 samples per day. An analysis robot, a mass spectrometer and a database form a practically self-controlled analysis and documentation system that achieves high-throughput rates of samples with absolute precision. By using a Laboratory Information and Management System, up to 150 million genotypes can be simultaneously retrieved and stored. In cooperation with a partner, GAG BioScience develops new and powerful tools for further data analysis.
人类基因组计划的完成导致了可用基因组信息的激增。单核苷酸多态性（SNP）已成为对几乎所有变异物种进行基因分型的通用且强大的工具。GAG生物科学公司开发的独特技术平台完全基于SNP检测，每天可对多达60000个样本进行基因分型。一个分析机器人、一台质谱仪和一个数据库构成了一个几乎自我控制的分析和记录系统，该系统能够以绝对精度实现样本的高通量检测。通过使用实验室信息与管理系统，可同时检索和存储多达1.5亿个基因型。GAG生物科学公司与合作伙伴合作，开发用于进一步数据分析的新型强大工具。
