Affymetrix DevNet Update


Affymetrix Developer News

June 2007

UPDATES & NEW RELEASES

SNP 6.0 Array Launched
The new Affymetrix® Genome-Wide Human SNP Array 6.0 features 1.8 million genetic markers, including more than 906,600 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and more than 946,000 probes for the detection of copy number variation. Please visit the SNP 6.0 product page for more information. Links to sample data and annotations are listed below.

Genotyping Console Now Available
Affymetrix Genotyping Console is a new genotyping analysis software package designed to streamline whole-genome genotyping analysis and quality control for the Genome-Wide SNP Arrays 5.0 and 6.0. Genotyping Console's QC and visualization tools easily identify and segregate sample outliers. SNP cluster visualization provides a detailed look at the performance of SNPs of interest. Reporting of seventy-two signature SNPs enable verification of a sample’s identity if compared to known genotypes for that sample. In addition, flexible SNP filtering, data management and visualization export features make it easy to share data with collaborators and downstream application software.

SNP 6.0 Probe Level Access Tool
The SNP 6.0 Probe Level Access Tool (SPLAT) is a research tool for customers who are investigating the use of SNP 6.0 for genome-wide copy number. SPLAT extracts probe intensities for collections of Genome-Wide SNP Array 6.0 CEL files. The software tool writes output files that contain normalized probe intensities and genomic position information in tabular format for more than 1.8 million genetic markers from both SNP and copy number probes on the SNP Array 6.0.

Command Console Beta 5 is Now Available
Affymetrix has released the final beta version of the Command Console software. The user interface has substantially changed from previous beta versions based on your feedback.

Affymetrix Power Tools (APT), Release 1.8.0
APT 1.8.0 is now available for download. The main addition in version 1.8.0 is implementation of the BRLMM-P and Birdseed methods and support for genotype calling from Genome Wide SNP 5.0 and Genome Wide SNP 6.0 chips. A new application apt-geno-qc enables computing single chip QC metrics for SNP probe sets on 500k, SNP 5.0, and SNP 6.0 genotyping chips. See the APT Product Page for downloads and further details.

DOCUMENTATION & SAMPLE DATA

SNP 6.0 Sample Data and Annotations Available
Please visit the SNP 6.0 page of the Affymetrix Data Resource Center for information on ordering SNP 6.0 Sample Data via delivery on DVD. Due to its size, data is not available for direct download.

HapMap Data Set
This dataset contains the 270 samples from the International HapMap Project run on the Affymetrix Genome Wide Human SNP Array 6.0.  The 270 samples are comprised of 30 CEPH trios, 30 Yoruban trios, 45 unrelated Han Chinese samples and 45 unrelated Japanese samples.

Chromosome X Titration
The copy number variation dataset consists of 5 replicates each of 5 samples.  Three of the samples have abnormal copies of the X chromosome, having 3, 4 and 5 copies respectively.  The remaining two are a normal male and a normal female, but are of special interest as the female is the sample studied by fosmid paired end sequencing in Tuzun et al (N at Gen 2005) and much work has been done on this sample (Redon et al, Nature 2006) relative to the included male HapMap sample NA10851.

Annotation Files
There are several different annotation files for the Genome Wide SNP 6.0 array. Please visit the SNP 6 .0 Support Page for links to download these data.

  • GenomeWidsSNP_6.cn.na22.annot.csv - This file contains the copy number probe annotations
  • GenomeWideSNP_6.na22.annot.csv - This file contains the SNP probe annotations
  • GenomeWideSNP_6.CN_probe_tab - This file contains the CN probe sequences
  • GenomeWideSNP_6.probe_tab - This file contains the SNP probe sequences

Human Gene ST 1.0 Sample Data
AGCC formatted CEL and CHP files with matched Sample files (*.ARR) are now available at the Human Gene ST 1.0 page of the Data Resource Center.

Tissue Panel Mixture Data Set on Human Exon, Gene and U133
Available from the Human Gene ST 1.0 Sample Data Page, Affymetrix has released a set of tissue mixture data run on the Human Exon 1.0 ST Array, Human Gene 1.0 ST Array and the Human U133 Plus 2.0 Array. AGCC formatted data are now available at the data resource center with richly annotated sample files (*.ARR) grouped with either CEL or CHP files.

Human Genome U133 Array Plate Set
Data presented in the performance Whitepaper comparing U133 plate versus cartridge performance are now available for download from the Data Resource Center.

Interested in Integrating Gene Expression and Regulation Data from Chip-chip experiments?
Data is available from the Carroll et al. Nature Genetics 38(11):1289, Nov 2006. Genome-wide analysis of estrogen receptor binding sites. The data is hosted on the Affymetrix Secure File Exchange due to its size. Please email mike_lelivelt@affymetrix.com for access to this data set. Affymetrix thanks the laboratories of Shirley Liu and Myles Brown for permission to redistribute these data.

WEBTALKS & EVENT ARCHIVES

2007 Low Level Analysis Workshop Preceding RECOMB
Affymetrix hosted another well attended Low Level Analysis Workshop on 21 April 2007. The event preceded the annual RECOMB meeting. Abstracts and slides are now available at the Low Level Event Archive.

Sample Registration in a Mixed GCOS/AGCC Environment
Programmatic methods for registering samples into both GCOS and the new Command Console (AGCC) software are presented. Available online are the archived WebTalk recording and DTT command line and array registration tools that were demonstrated during the talk. Please email mailto:devnet@affymetrix.com with any questions on the materials or methods.
