Applied Biosystems™ Axiom™ Canine HD Array

Applied Biosystems™ Axiom™ Canine HD Array

The Axiom Canine HD Array was designed as part of the Expert Array Design Program. The array was developed by screening over 2000 samples using the Axiom Canine Genotyping Array Sets A and B. The samples covered over 50 breeds and were carefully selected with appropriate pedigree to maximize polymorphic content. The array offers over 710,000 markers for validation and discovery of variants associated with specific phenotypes. The content on the array was aligned with the CanFam3 reference genome.
