Infinium Multi-Ethnic AMR/AFR-8

Infinium Multi-Ethnic AMR/AFR-8 BeadChip (8-sample)

The Infinium Multi-Ethnic AMR/AFR-8 BeadChip harnesses content from Phase 3 of the 1000 Genomes Project (1kGP), Consortium on Asthma among African-ancestry Populations in the Americas (CAAPA), Population Architecture using Genomics and Epidemiology (PAGE), T2D-Genes Consortium, OMIM, ClinVar, ACGM, carrier screening panels, and other resources to create a multipurpose, multiethnic array. With >1.4 million expertly selected markers, the Infinium Multi-Ethnic AMR/AFR-8 BeadChip combines expertly selected content from the most popular Illumina commercial arrays with the most current genomic information. Researchers can detect both common and rare variants across Hispanic and African American populations and impute variants in a vast number of subpopulations.
