Snp Testing
SNP testing refers to Single Nucleotide Polymorphism analysis, a molecular genetics technique used to identify genetic markers and variations within cannabis genomes. In breeding programs, SNP testing enables breeders to map genetic diversity, verify lineage authenticity, and identify specific alleles associated with plant morphology, cannabinoid synthesis, and terpene production. This technology has become increasingly relevant in regulated breeding environments where genetic verification supports seed authenticity claims and helps prevent genetic drift across generations. SNP markers can help distinguish between phenotypically similar plants that carry different underlying genetic compositions, supporting more precise selection strategies.

Breeders use SNP testing to accelerate trait selection, verify parentage in hybridization programs, and maintain genetic records across seed lines. SNP data supports quantitative trait mapping, allowing breeders to identify genetic markers linked to desired characteristics without relying solely on phenotypic observation.
