Matís is developing a new gene set based on repeated cod microsatellites from cod.
The aim of the project was to develop a new gene set based on repeated DNA microsatellites from cod. 10 genetic marker kits were to be prepared for use in breeding cod farming and also 20 genetic marker kits for the analysis of the origin of wild cod.
In addition, these diagnostic kits are useful for genotyping for traceability and species and origin analysis of eggs and larvae in the sea and for market doubts. The results of this study were recently published in Molecular Ecology Resources and can be seen in the article here.
