Axiom Porcine Genotyping Array (Axiom_PigHDv1) for pig genotyping was designed through the Affymetrix- Expert Design Program by Dr. Martien Groenen at Wageningen University, Netherlands, and Dr. Alan Archibald at The Roslin Institute, United Kingdom.

Axiom Porcine Genotyping Array is available in 96-array format and includes 658,692 markers discovered using whole-genome sequence data from 210 animals covering a broad range of commercial and non-commercial pig breeds that were selected for their relevance to world-wide breeding programs.1 Powered by Axiom Genotyping Solution, the array offers the highest data completeness, call rates, and reproducibility of any technology available today.

Features of Axiom Porcine Genotyping Array:

• • Expert design: developed by key opinion leaders in the porcine community

• High resolution

• 658,692 markers on the array

• Equal spacing on chromosomes

• Bias towards common variants

• 56,000 of the most informative markers from an existing in-market 60,000 marker array, allowing compatibility with previous studies
• High diversity: includes markers from a diverse set of commercially relevant breeds, including rare/traditional breeds

Applications of Axiom Porcine Genotyping Array:

• Construction of high-resolution genetic maps
• Genetic improvement of pure lines
• Fine mapping of quantitative trait loci
• Developing training populations for calculating breeding values with genomic selection models

Array format: 96-array plate
