Axiom™ BreedWheat 35K Genotyping Array (mini-96 format)

The Axiom BreedWheat 35K Genotyping Array (Axiom TaBW35K) was designed in the framework of the BreedWheat Project in collaboration with Dr. Etienne Paux, project leader at the National Institute for Agricultural Research, Clermont-Ferrand, France. The BreedWheat Project, a French public-private partnership, aims at strengthening the competitiveness of the French wheat-breeding sector, as well as to address the societal demands for sustainability, quality, and safety in agricultural production. This array is also available in 384 format.

The 34,746 SNPs on this array were derived from the Axiom TaBW280K Genotyping Array (1). Several selection criteria were applied, including clustering profiles, even distribution (based on linkage disequilibrium data rather than physical positions), and known position on the IWGSC RefSeq v1.0.

Information on the SNPs, including physical and genetic positions, context sequences, and statistics derived from a panel of 96 wheat lines representative of the worldwide diversity are also provided.
