SNP Technology: Our patented SNP method involves a set
of biochemical reactions that isolates
the precise location of a suspected SNP
and then simply and directly determines
the identity of the SNP, using an enzyme
called DNA polymerase. DNA polymerase
helps give our SNP technology its exceptional
accuracy. And because our technology is
a direct method of determining the identity
of a SNP, it is both more accurate and
more robust than techniques that indirectly
infer the SNP’s presence. More
