Applied Biosystems™ Axiom™ Maize Genotyping Array

Applied Biosystems™ Axiom™ Maize Genotyping Array

Axiom Maize Genotyping Array was designed by the AgroClustER Synbreed (funded by the German Ministry of Education and Research, BMBF) through a collaboration led by Professor Chris-Carolin Schön, Dr. Eva Bauer, and Sandra Unterseer (Technische Universität München, Germany), and Dr. Georg Haberer and Michael Seidel (Helmholtz Zentrum Mnchen, Germany) through Affymetrix Expert Design Program.* The array interrogates 616,201 carefully selected polymorphic variants to represent the global diversity in the maize genome.

The array overcomes specific challenges caused by a high content of repetitive elements, high genomic and structural diversity, and low linkage disequilibrium (LD) in different cultivars. The SNPs on the array were first discovered through resequencing in a panel of 30 inbred lines that represented global diversity. The array was validated by using a diverse set of European, US, and tropical/semi-tropical lines from various Dent and Flint gene pools.
