The Axiom Genome-Wide BOS 1 Array Plate is designed to maximize genetic and physical SNP coverage and offers up to 34 percent more genetic coverage of commercially important cattle breeds, including Bos taurus, Bos indicus, as well as dairy and beef breeds. The array covers more than 640,000 validated SNP markers representing the genetic diversity of approximately 3 million SNPs from the Affymetrix Bovine Genomic Database.

Developed in collaboration with key scientists in the bovine genotyping industry, the Axiom Genome-Wide BOS 1 Array Plate enables accurate genetic merit evaluations, genome-wide association studies to identify variations associated with disease, drug response, and other economically important traits, as well as biodiversity research and linkage disequilibrium (LD) studies.

Benefits of the Axiom Genome-Wide BOS 1 Array Plate:
• Up to 34 percent higher genetic coverage than any array on the market
• The broadest coverage of beef and dairy breeds
• Designed and priced with breeders in mind
• Built from a database of 3 million validated SNPs for reliable results
• Developed in collaboration with 10 leading bovine researchers

Note: Validated SNPs are SNPs that are polymorphic among 20 cattle breeds and demonstrate high performance on the Axiom genotyping assay.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

What is the starting amount of DNA required for Axiom arrays?

All Axiom arrays (except for Axiom Genome-Wide Pan-African Array Set) require a total of 200 ng DNA. The Axiom Genome-Wide Pan-African Array Set requires a total of 300 ng DNA, or 100 ng DNA per array (there are 3 arrays).

What quality control tools are available for the Axiom Genome-Wide BOS 1 Array?

Dish QC (DQC) is the recommended QC metric for Axiom Genome-Wide Arrays in Genotyping Console Software. The default threshold is greater than or equal to 0.82 for each sample. It operates by measuring signal at a collection of sites in the genome that are known not to vary from one individual to the next. Because the metric monitors non-polymorphic locations, at each position it is known which of the two channels in the assay should contain signal and which should be just background. DQC is a measure of the extent to which the distribution of signal values is separated from background values, with 0 indicating no separation and 1 indicating perfect separation.
