What is the density & distribution of the Mapping 100K Set?

The Mapping 100K Set delivers the most markers and the highest mapping resolution available today in a single experiment, enabling whole-genome association studies for the first time.

The average distance between markers is 1 SNP every 23 KB

  • 92% of the genome is within 100 kb of a SNP
  • 82% is within 50 kb
  • 50% is within 15 kb
  • 25% is within 5 kb
  • The Mapping 100K Set is the first in a family of products to enable wholegenome association studies. Future products will add complementary SNPs to increase density
