The four-sample HumanOmni1-Quad BeadChip contains strategically selected content that includes markers derived from the 1,000 Genomes Project, all three HapMap phases, and recently published studies. Each BeadChip features over one million available assays per sample, containing carefully selected markers that deliver dense genome-wide coverage. Intelligent tag SNP selection has been optimized to maintain comprehensive genomic coverage, while reducing tag SNP redundancy. This has enabled the inclusion of additional content carefully chosen to target high-value regions of the genome associated with human disease.
The Omni1 BeadChip is an integral part of the 2010 GWAS product roadmap , which provides researchers favorable pricing and the fastest access to new variants identified by the 1000 Genomes Project. With Omni1, researchers can begin genome-wide association studies immediately and add additional markers on supplemental arrays as they become available. For those interested in the 2010 GWAS product roadmap, Illumina has developed Infinium Multi-Use Sample Preparation kits. These kits require only a single sample amplification, which can be used and then stored for supplemental roadmap arrays as they become available.
Illumina's freely accessible iControlDB is an online database of genotype and phenotype data from individuals on all ILMN’s GWAS arrays that can be used as controls for association or imputation studies.
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) map genetic variation across human populations to identify variants associated with human disease. Infinium HD BeadChips offer GWAS researchers the flexibility to profile samples with 300,000 to 1.2 million markers in high-throughput format, and deliver dense genome-wide coverage with the most up-to-date content available from the scientific community. Strategically selected probes provide sensitive copy number variation analysis and target high-value regions of the genome associated with disease.
More...Structural variability is a substantial source of genetic variation that has a major influence on phenotypic variation. Cytogenetic analysis allows researchers to profile chromosomal aberrations such as amplifications, deletions, rearrangements, point mutations, copy number changes, and copy-neutral loss of heterozygosity (LOH) events.
