myBaits Custom — Predesigned Community Panels – Animals

Over the last decade, researchers working in evolutionary biology, phylogenetics, functional genomics, environmental and community genomics, and more have relied on myBaits Custom kits for enhancing the efficiency of their targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) research on a wide variety of model and non-model animal species.

myBaits Custom kits have been applied to NGS research for virtually all animal phyla including arthropods, chordates, cnidaria, echinoderms, molluscs, and more. Vertebrate research has been heavily represented for both extant and extinct taxa, including tetrapods and Chrondrichtyhes and Osteichthyes fishes.
