Axiom™ Pan-African Cancer Research Assay Kit, array 2

The Applied Biosystems Axiom Pan-African Cancer Research Assay Kit is comprised of two arrays (array 1 and array 2, sold separately) offering over 1.5 million markers and an imputation-aware GWAS grid that tags over 94% of variants commonly found in African populations. The kit enables better novel disease associations with prostate and other cancers for African populations as well as other 1000G super-populations and provides high coverage of whole genome common variants (minor allele frequency > 5%) and rare variants (MAF >1 %). For African Pan-African Research Assay Kit (array 1), please see Cat. No. 952406.

Features of the Axiom Pan-African Cancer Research Array include:

• Cancer research-related variants optimized for coverage in African populations while offering high coverage across all 1000G super-populations
• Two-array design: Array 1 offers 801,275 markers and Array 2 offers 790,170 markers covering common variants (MAF >5%) and rare variants (MAF >1%) in African populations

Axiom Pan-African Cancer Research array 2 coverage includes:

• Over 789K GWAS grid variant markers for optimal whole-genome imputation targeting common variants (MAF >5%) and rare variants (MAF >1%)
