SUMMARY
A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), a single base pair variation, is the
most commonly occurring variation in DNA. SNPs provide a powerful approach to
understanding the connection between genetic variation and its physical
manifestation, and as such, are a main focus of the pharmacogenomics arena.
Based on a 34-question survey of more than 500 scientists who currently
perform SNP genotyping, The Market for SNP Genotyping Products & Services
details researchers' experimental parameters, current and future levels of
sample throughput and the genotyping methods utilized in order to benchmark
the current state of the market. It reveals respondents' satisfaction with
their genotyping method and determines the attributes of those methods that
are of the greatest importance, as well as areas where the methods perform
above or below expectations. Additionally, this report examines the practice
of outsourcing samples to SNP genotyping providers by disclosing respondents'
reasons for outsourcing, factors that contributed to the selection of a
particular genotyping service provider and their satisfaction with that
provider.
By using this report to understand the actual experiences, needs and
preferences of researchers, suppliers of SNP genotyping products and services
will be better positioned to refine existing tools to appeal to the diverse
needs of their target market and to extend the use of their products and
services into additional laboratories.
The major objectives of this report are as follows:
- Identify the preferred techniques used to perform SNP genotyping.
- Understand the extent of outsourcing of SNP genotyping and why researchers
decide to outsource.
- Determine current levels of throughput and multiplexing as well as
reaction costs for SNP genotyping.
- Identify the preferred suppliers of SNP genotyping products and services.
- Measure respondents' levels of satisfaction with SNP genotyping service
providers and SNP genotyping products and services.
- Explore unmet needs, as well as the future utilization of SNP genotyping.
