MyGeneChip™ Custom Array Program

Customize your world with the new MyGeneChip™ Custom Array Program, the industry's most complete line of custom gene expression and genotyping arrays for plant, animal and microbial genomes. MyGeneChip Custom Arrays provide the highest-resolution data on a single array, tailored to your specific research needs. MyGeneChip Custom Arrays offer an expanded selection of custom solutions, including whole-transcript expression, exon analysis, ChIP-on-chip, transcript mapping, SNP discovery, 3' expression and resequencing.

Choose your content from catalog GeneChip® expression arrays, from your own sequences or a combination of both. The Affymetrix chip design team has developed more than 500 custom designs resulting in hundreds of publications by working directly with customers, from concept through design completion, to ensure success at every step along the way. The chip design team is ready to help you with your custom array needs, whether it's a standard design or something more creative.

Affymetrix has also introduced the Custom Genotyping Technology Access Program for non-human organisms. Through this program, Affymetrix will work with a limited number of communities to create custom SNP arrays for their organisms.

Application

Resequencing

Whole-genome genotyping through the Technology Access Program

Assay

DNA resequencing

SNP genome-wide

Benefit

Generate up to 300 kb of unique, high-quality, double-stranded sequence with minimal PCR and sequence alignment in 48 hours. Also, get more information in single experiment; interrogates up to 600 kb total, identifies both known and novel SNPs.

  • Long “read length” minimizes curation and assembly time
  • High-quality data (these are for both haploid or diploid)
    • Call Rates > 90%
    • Accuracy > 99.9%
    • Reproducibility > 99.9%
