The Axiom Rice Genotyping Array offers complete genomic coverage, allowing researchers to easily analyze natural variation in rice varieties worldwide to identify genes underlying important phenotypic traits (e.g., high yields), understand genetic sources of variation, and differentiate cultivars for fingerprinting and classification purposes.

The Axiom Rice Genotyping Array includes 42,961 markers from the GeneChip™ Rice 44K Genotyping Array and 5,499 markers from a genome-wide SNP set (RICE6K) for genomic breeding in rice.

Highlights:

• Content:
  • Backward compatibility with previous data based on 44,000 markers from the GeneChip Rice 44K SNP Genotyping Array.
  • Detection of common genetic variants within and between major rice subpopulations, including indica, aus, tropical japonica, temperate japonica, and group V (‘aromatic’).
  • Efficient detection of progeny in rice breeding with markers identified by Yu et al.
