The TaqMan OpenArray Genotyping Barcode Panel 60 consists of 3 Y-markers and 57 autosomal SNPs that allow for unique identification of individual samples for biorepository applications. A total of 47 samples and 1 no template control can be run with this panel.Markers were selected based on high minor allele frequency in multiple ethnic populations, representation on high throughput genotyping, and robust genotyping performance. These markers allow unique identification of individuals within sample collections. The panel allows unique identification of individuals throughout experimental processes by providing both sample identity and gender checks in the event of sample mix-ups or labeling mistakes. It also serves as an internal control for genome-wide association studies by containing markers from large microarrays to allow matching of sample genotypes directly from the panel to a GWAS array.This panel is intended for use with the QuantStudio 12K Flex Real-time PCR system which can cycle and image 4 pates simultaneously, providing high-throughput results with ease.
