Applied Biosystems™ Axiom™ Coral-Algae Genotyping Array, (384HT format)

The Axiom Coral-Algae Genotyping array (Axiom AcropSNP) was designed in collaboration with Dr. Iliana Baums and the Baums laboratory at Pennsylvania State University. The array was designed to co-analyze the coral host (Acropora) and algal symbionts (Symbiodiniaceae) based on the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) loci selected to resolve multi-locus genotypes of host (genets) and symbionts (strains). SNPs were also selected to distinguish host populations and to determine ancestry of the coral hybrids in Caribbean acroporids. A subset of SNP loci can be used to genotype Pacific acroporids.
