myBaits UCE Diptera 2.7Kv1

myBaits Expert - Predesigned Panels for high-impact, cost-effective solutions to the scientific community

Product Description

Ultraconserved Elements (UCEs) are highly conserved genomic regions which are flanked by more divergent sequences.

• Designed by experts and ready for immediate use
• Ever expanding list of peer-reviewed publications
• Simple, user-friendly data analysis
• Use one bait set across multiple distantly-related taxa

These key areas have been identified and exploited as ideal target capture candidates for phylogenetic research on novel and non-model species, as many genomic regions are shared across large taxonomic ranges. Sets of UCE loci have been identified for various taxonomic groups, including vertebrates, insects, and many more. Daicel Arbor Biosciences offers a number of popular UCE panels as catalog products at low per-reaction costs. Additional info on the utility of UCEs for genetic research can be found at www.UltraConserved.org

Performance Data

Figure 1. Example alignment of a 120bp UCE locus from the Tetrapods 5K baitset compared to the region containing the top BLAST hit in genomes of chicken (Gallus gallus), human, mouse (Mus musculus), and frog (Xenopus laevis. Individual bases are colored by degree of similarity between sequences (dark = high, light = low). The central 120bp UCE region is strongly conserved across all taxa, whereas immediate flanking regions are more divergent.
