Therion International, LLC is the recognized leader in providing reliable and accurate DNA-based testing services for addressing questions concerning the genetic identity of animals. The staff at Therion International has successfully processed samples from over 350 species/breeds of animals - unsurpassed by any known commercial or research DNA laboratory. Therion International has developed 12 proprietary RFLP multi-locus probes (OPT™-series), each of which is capable of assaying a different subset of a genome. These probes detect highly variable DNA-sequence information, regardless of species. In addition, Therion International offers assays that employ DNA amplification techniques. Therion International has also developed a unique set of software for computer analysis of these data and provides long-term data or sample storage services.

Our DNA-based testing services can be used to address questions concerning the genetics of aquatic, companion, domestic, wild and/or zoo animals.

Applications of Therion International DNA profile analysis include:

1. Sire/Dam Verification
2. Registry/Individual Identity
3. Strain Characterization/Genetic Monitoring
4. Estimation of Genetic Variation within/among populations
5. Breed/Population/Subspecies Differentiation
6. Identification of DNA markers linked to performance traits or genetic disorders
7. Research and Development for the identification of novel DNA markers.
