Affymetrix® Technology
Affymetrix® Genotyping Technology
- Interrogate between 3,000 and over 1.8M loci (SNP and CNV) in parallel
- Custom genotyping for studying focused genomic regions of interest in human
- Commercial arrays with standard content
Applications
- Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for mapping genetic variation across populations to identify variants associated with a phenotype
- Copy number variation (CNV) analysis
- Cytogenetic studies
Description
The Affymetrix® genotyping technology is designed for whole-genome SNP analyses. The reaction consists in reproducibly amplifying a subset of the human genome through a single primer amplification reaction using restriction enzyme digested, adaptor-ligated human genomic DNA. This DNA is then fragmented, labeled and hybridized onto a GeneChip® array. With the new algorithm, (Birdseed, BRLMM-P), the average call rate is greater than 98%. The error rate is around 0.5%.
Affymetrix®'s website can be visited for more details.
Available Products
Either standard or custom content panels may be ordered. The design of custom assays is realized solely by our personnel.
- Genome-Wide Human SNP Array 5.0 (high density): Covers the entire genome with over 500,000 SNPs.
- Genome-Wide Human SNP Array 6.0 (very high density): Covers the entire genome with over 900,000 SNPs and over 940,000 probes for CNV analysis.
- Affymetrix GeneChip® Universal Tag Arrays (formerly the Molecular Inversion Probe (MIP) Technology from ParAllele): Consists of customs or standard panels from 3,000 to 70,000 SNPs, available in 3K, 5K, 10K, 25K, or 70K configurations.
