Bovine SNP Chip

The Infinium BovineSNP50 BeadChip is a12-sample genotyping product now available for detecting genetic variation in any breed of cattle. The chip features more than 54,000 SNPs. The BovineSNP50 BeadChip presents an average SNP spacing of 51.5 Kb across the entire genome, allowing for a range of applications such as genome-wide selection, determination of genetic merit, identification of quantitative trait loci, and comparative genetic studies. The chip’s content targets include more than 23,800 novel, validated SNPs discovered from deeply sequencing more than 2% of the Bos taurus genome; over 12,000 common SNPs derived from the Bovine HapMap Consortium; 15,000 SNPs from the bovine genome reference Btau3.1; and 116 parentage markers from the Clay Center.
