Enhanced DNA Metabarcoding

In 2024, Genidaqs launched a powerful new suite of validated metabarcoding primers—broadening the range of taxa that can be genetically identified with precision. This expanded toolkit includes primers for:

General bat primers
Pacific Northwest Salmonids
GIQSnake
GIQTurtle Crustaceans (crabs and crayfish)
Copepod, Cladeceran, Amphipod (CCA) primers
Freshwater Inverts (EPT taxa) Leese primers
Invasive Aquatic Plants ITS primers
Terrestrial plants (Trees + Honey) ITS2 primers

Enhanced Quantitative PCR (TaqMan)

In 2024, Genidaqs expanded its genetic toolkit by validating a new suite of species-specific qPCR assays—enhancing the precision of taxa detection across a wide range of organisms. Newly validated assays now cover:

Black Rail, Ridgeways Rail, Yellow Rail
Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnake
Mudpuppy Salamander
Prickly/Riffle Sculpin
Ranavirus
Salamander Mussel
Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout
Invasive mussels + freshwater clams
Longfin Smelt

Enhanced genomics and bioinformatics

Global Primer Assessment Tool – species accuracy

• Quickly assess whether metabarcoding primers will capture your target taxa
• Choose the most effective primer set up front and skip the costly trial-and-error phase.

Microhaplotype genotyping pipeline based on Mega-Simple-Microhap-Snakeflow and Microhaplotopia

• Combines genetic lineage and adult run timing to deliver a more precise and comprehensive dataset for Central Valley California salmonids.
