Company background Established 1986 DNA is our core Wim van Haeringen PhD university Utrecht CEO of VHLGenetics since 2000
3 Business Units in Europe, Distribution network expanding
Fields of expertise Non-human DNA services Animal Plant Microorganisms
Portfolio Detection of genetic variants animals Parentage verification Diseases, mutations Detection of genetic variants plants Hybrid purity, Variety control Resistance Detection pathogens Species identification
Continuous need for improvement Transition in markets, change of B2B to B2C Increased focus on animal welfare and consumption
Transition in customer requirements Historically, one application Either 1 100 genetic markers Or > 10,000 genetic markers Major requirement for flexible panels in the range of 100 5,000 genetic markers
Partnership for codevelopment (1) Partnering is the answer as technology development requires applications Specific information and in depth know how available & Continuous technology development Lead to long term codevelopment
Partnership for codevelopment (2) Application partner: Detailed market information and >30 years of applications. Requirements routine lab: Flexibility in marker numbers Flexibility in sample numbers Cost effective Technology partner: Thermo Fisher Scientific, AgriSeq GBS and AmpliSeq.
Explanation of technology NB: DNA extraction. Good quality DNA should result in good results. Requirements: concentration may be different between species and applications. Next slides: overview of the four-step AmpliSeq technology

Materials, Methods Canis lupus familiaris (CanFam3.1) Chromosomes: 39 sequences (including X) Other: 3229 sequences (unplaced scaffolds and mitochondrion) Felis catus (Felis_catus_8.0) Chromosomes: 19 sequences (including X) Other: 267606 sequences (unplaced scaffolds and mitochondrion) Bos Taurus: well defined marker panel for PV 96-well AgriSeq workflow library prep was performed on each sample and all libraries were pooled onto a single Ion 540 chip for template prep and sequencing on the Ion Chef and Ion S5 XL.
Definitions Call rate Sample Call Rate is the percent of markers generating a genotype call for a specific sample. Used to see if there is any issue with samples. Marker Call Rate is the percent of samples generating a genotype call for a specific marker. Used to look at performance of each marker to see if there are any underperforming markers. If the mapped reads at a particular marker for a particular sample do not meet all of the acceptance criteria for the TVC, then the result for that position is listed as a No Call.
Example: Feline Panel V1 Results (1) Run metrics 62 Markers, 96 samples: Loading Statistics
Example: Feline Panel V1 Results (2) Run metrics 62 Markers, 96 samples: Fragment lengths
Example: Feline Panel V1 Results (3) Run metrics 62 Markers, 96 samples: Alignment and Raw accuracy
Call Rate % Feline Panel V1-99.8% Call Rate Average 99.8% overall call rate Sample ID Call rate for most feline markers was 100%; other markers had call rate > 97.9%
X Mean Coverage Feline Panel V1 - Mean Coverage Mean coverage is ~13,000 reads per marker for 96 samples Markers
Summary of current results Feline Panel V1 62 marker panel was tested with 96 samples v1 panel call rate is 99.8 % for 96 samples Canine Panel V1 161 marker panel was tested with 192 samples v1 panel call rate is >98% for 192 samples Bovine Panel V1 200 marker panel was tested with 96 samples v1 panel call rate is >98,5% for 192 samples -> robust performance
Short term developments Availability via our service labs (booth 127) Marketing & Sales through Thermo Fisher Scientific Panel expansion with relevant markers
Conclusions GbS AgriSeq(R)is a robust tool for our applications in the range of 100 5,000 markers. Results confirm: Flexibility in marker panels Flexibility in sample numbers Fast turn around times Low hands on time Routine lab implementation: Plug and Play
