Genotyping Quality Control of DNA
High-throughput quality control for genotyping involves functional assays called “QC1”, “QC2”, and “QC3”. Unlike simple DNA quantification, which may fail to detect DNA impurities, these functional assays predict performance of DNA in genotyping. These assays are also useful for quantifying DNA that may be chemically pure, but of mixed origin (e.g., human buccal DNA that contains microbial DNA contamination). Another use for these assays is ensuring that fragmented DNA is of adequate length for PCR amplification.

Notes
QC1: A non-allelic Q-PCR assay that measures the quantity of PCR-amplifiable human DNA. QC2: An end-point Taqman SNP genotyping assay that is a sensitive indicator of sample-to-sample cross-contamination.
Tiers: Turnaround time (TAT) is in business days. Availability for the Priority Tier is limited; contact genotype@umn.edu to see if this is a current option. More information about Pricing Tiers.
