The BovineSNP50 v3 BeadChip contains 53,714 highly informative SNPs uniformly distributed across the entire genome of major cattle breed types, empowering applications such as genome-wide enabled selection, identification of quantitative trait loci, evaluation of genetic merit of individuals, and comparative genetic studies. This BeadChip was developed by Illumina in collaboration with the USDA-ARS, University of Missouri, and the University of Alberta. More than 22,000 SNP probes target novel SNP loci that were discovered by Illumina sequencing of 3 pooled populations of economically important beef and dairy cattle. Additional content is derived from publicly available sources such as the bovine reference genome, Btau, and the Bovine HapMap Consortium data set. All SNP probes have been validated in 18 common beef and dairy breeds.
