HumanExome BeadChip

 

The HumanExome BeadChip provides coverage of functional exonic variants. The >250,000 markers on this BeadChip were selected from >12,000 whole exome and whole genome sequences, and represent SNPs in RefSeq genes, nonsynonymous SNPs and SNPs in coding regions (including UTR’s).

 

The array was consortium designed with the goal of enabling a bridge between GWAS genotyping for common variants and exome sequencing for relatively rare variants.

 

 

The content of HumanExome BeadChip can be customized with the ability to add 200,000 additional SNPs. In addition, the core content of the HumanExome array can be added to the HumanOmni5 and the HumanOmniExpress.
