We are now offering public screening for mutations in Brassica napus using TILLING:

  • Our population is derived from the doubled haploid line DH12075.
  • We screen at least 1152 nutant lines, or screen until we have identified a putative null allele or several missense alleles.
  • We usually screen amplicons of 1500 – 1800 base pairs, but this depends on the length of genomic sequence avaialble to design primers
  • We obtain, on average, more than 20 mutations per gene (~45% missense, 5% nonsense, and 50% silent)
  • The cost for TILLING of one region (1500 base pairs) is $5000 CAD.
  • In order to make a request we require either genomic or cDNA sequence from a Brassica napus variety (preferably DH12075).  If genomic sequence is provided, TILLING is generally faster because primer design is easier.
