Dna Testing for Females....

So recently I was chatting with a company on IG for testing seedlings for sex. The company says you pay $10 to have the kits shipped to you. Then, it costs about $9 per test and discount for multi tests. Does anyone else do this and if so.....hows the prices I am giving for the company?

Look up SCAR and MADD32, male markers with the best resolution or some of them. Varies depending on which machine they run. Is it even 75% accurate? Probably in some strains.....heavily bxed or selfed. Wildtypes probably give fits. You could maybe develop a baseline using a technique like this....
They have known about these markers for a while and it really hasnt ever developed mainstream....

They said the results are 99.9% and the .01 is "human error"...I'll check those out though. Thanks... it's new to me so I wanted to see if anyone had experience with this,

I will dig around and find my papers, it is definitely not 99%, lol. I have a buddy doing hemp testing, thousands, and dropped it. It ended up being higher for "bottlenecked strains" and was impossible for monecious wildtypes....

I remember seeing people say they grew out males that were tested but still were females. Like I said...just wanted to see what was up with the whole testing deal. Thanks.
