Genotyping Console (GTC) Software makes primary data analysis easy with simple drop-down menus and visualization tools that help you get to your data quickly and dig deeper for quality checking and biological meaning.
GTC Software integrates single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), copy number polymorphism (CNP) genotyping, rare copy number variation (CNV) identification, and cytogenetic analyses into one application. It generates genotyping calls, copy number calls for CNV regions and individual probe sets, loss of heterozygosity (LOH) data, cluster graphs (Figure 1), and quality control metrics.

Download the latest version of Genotyping Console - version 4.0 ( 64-bit | 32-bit )
Data are displayed in tabular and graphic formats, allowing you to easily share your results with others. Flexible SNP filtering (Figure 2) and export tools are included to enable downstream statistical analysis.
GTC Software version 4.0 enables you to:
- Perform SNP genotyping analysis on data generated from Axiom Genome-Wide Array Plates, the Affymetrix® Genome-Wide Human SNP Array 5.0 and SNP Array 6.0, and GeneChip® Human Mapping 100K and 500K Array Sets
- Call genotypes and cluster data
- Calculate copy number state calls for use in statistical association analyses and high-resolution CNP mapping (Figure 3)
- Quickly identify features of interest in your data set with scatter plots, line graphs, and heat map graphs
- Seamlessly integrate with third-party software packages
- Analyze data from a range of Affymetrix® Arrays while providing data analysis continuity
- Use on 32- and 64-bit Windows operating systems
- Export forward strand allele calls
- Graphically represent sample and processing information in the cluster graph for quick data review and troubleshooting
- Improve your data comparison workflow by merging genotype results from multiple arrays within an array set into a single export file
- Easily export data in a PLINK-compatible format
- Affymetrix Tools - Developed internally at Affymetrix
- GeneChip® Command Console® Software
- GeneChip-compatible Software Providers
