Applied Biosystems™ Axiom™ Trout Genotyping Array (384 format)

Applied Biosystems™ Axiom™ Trout Genotyping Array (384 format)

Axiom Trout Genotyping Array (96 format) was designed under the Affymetrix Expert Design Program in collaboration with the National Center for Cool and Cold Water Aquaculture, USDA-ARS, USA, and AquaGen, Trondheim, Norway. The array includes 57,501 markers and is available in both 96 format and 384 format.

Axiom Trout Genotyping Array offers a standard high-throughput, cost-effective, and robust genotyping technology to conduct genome-wide association studies (GWAS), to study genetic architecture, perform marker-trait association, and to increase accuracy of breeding programs. The high marker density on the array ensures a broad coverage of the trout genome to provide representation of all regions in the genome.

Features

• Comprehensive content: The array includes 57,501 markers spaced across the genome as follows:

    - 17,000 markers that are unique to SNPs discovered in a previous USDA study1

    - 20,000 markers unique to an outbred Norwegian commercial population

    - Amino acid shifting SNPs

    - SNPs preferentially located within a gene and with minor allele frequency (MAF) >0.2

    - Y chromosome-specific SNPs near the sdY gene (male-specific in rainbow trout)
