The MaizeSNP50 Genotyping BeadChip contains 56,110 markers derived from the B73 reference sequence. Illumina has developed the BeadChip in collaboration with TraitGenetics, The French National Institute for Agricultural Research (INRA), and Syngenta. Featuring highly polymorphic SNP content and providing uniform genomic coverage, this BeadChip enables the interrogation of genetic variation for maize. Importantly, this BeadChip presents an average of greater than 25 markers per megabase, providing ample SNP density for robust whole-genome genotyping studies. In addition, the MaizeSNP50 marker set provides the ability to perform genetic mapping and marker-assisted breeding.
