Genome-Wide Human SNP Array 6.0
How do I find out how much coverage the SNP 6.0 array provides for my specific gene of interest?
There are a couple ways to determine how a specific gene of interest is covered by the SNP 6.0 array. The first would be to use the Affymetrix NetAffx website and query the gene of interest in the genotyping search field. This will return the list of SNPs and their annotations to the gene. Within one of these records is a link to the UCSC browser which is a nice visual display of the SNPs on your gene of interest.
Another way to determine how a specific gene of interest is covered by the SNP 6.0 array would be to go to the UCSC genome browser directly and search for the gene of interest. Please be sure that the SNP field is visible and not hidden under the option
