Axiom Salmon Genotyping Array for Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar ) was designed within Affymetrix’s Expert Design Program in collaboration with the Roslin Institute (University of Edinburgh), Edinburgh Genomics, Landcatch Natural Selection Ltd., University of Stirling, and University of Glasgow in the United Kingdom.

*The array interrogates more than 130,000 polymorphic variants that were discovered through three different sequencing methodologies. Axiom Salmon Genotyping Array provides comprehensive information on polymorphisms throughout the salmon genome.

The high marker density in Axiom Salmon Genotyping Array ensures broad coverage of the salmon genome and avoids underrepresentation of important regions of the salmon genome. This is a significant improvement over existing Atlantic salmon genotyping tools.
