Applied Biosystems™ Axiom™ Salmon Genotyping Array

Applied Biosystems™ Axiom™ Salmon Genotyping Array

The array interrogates more than 130,000 polymorphic variants that were discovered through three different sequencing methodologies. Axiom Salmon Genotyping Array provides extensive information on polymorphisms across the salmon genome.

The high marker density on Axiom Salmon Genotyping Array ensures a broad coverage of the salmon genome and avoids underrepresentation of important regions of the salmon genome. This is a significant improvement over existing Atlantic salmon genotyping tools.

Features

• Diverse content – More than 130,000 SNPs evenly spaced across the genome with preference given to transcribed regions. The array includes 4,714 markers from public sources and 87 Y chromosome-specific probes for accurate gender determination.
• Multiple breeds represented – Farmed Scottish and Norwegian and wild Scottish, Irish, Norwegian, and Spanish populations
