Next generation sequencing and faster genotyping technologies have led to the development of a range of SNP genotyping platforms such as VeraCode, GoldenGate or Infinium assays of Illumina, dynamic allele-specific hybridization (DASH), arrayed primer extension reaction (APEX) and competitive allele-specific PCR (KASPar) assays. KASPar assays however seem to be the most promising cost-effective genotyping platform especially when only a few SNPs need to be genotyped with only few samples. 5 June 2013
