No. Genetic drift occurs through random mutations across the genome accumulating over time in a given population of mice. SNP based panel testing cannot detect mutations that occur at loci other than those targeted. However, Transnetyx offers allele-specific SNP genotyping for several mutations that are the result of genetic drift (for example, Nnt, rd8, and Dock2). Allele-specific genotyping identifies mutant alleles within a strain and is an important component of any genetic monitoring program. You can order genotyping of these loci via our standard genotyping ordering process.
