Introduction<br />

The Affymetrix GeneChip ® <strong>Mapping</strong> <strong>500K</strong> Assay, in conjunction<br />

with the GeneChip ® <strong>Mapping</strong> <strong>500K</strong> Set, is designed to detect<br />

greater than 500,000 Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (<strong>SNP</strong>s) in<br />

samples of genomic DNA. The <strong>Mapping</strong> <strong>500K</strong> Set is comprised of two<br />

arrays and two <strong>assay</strong> kits. Each array and its corresponding <strong>assay</strong> kit are<br />

processed independently of the other array and <strong>assay</strong> kit. The protocol<br />

starts with 250 ng of genomic DNA per array and will generate <strong>SNP</strong><br />

genotype calls for approximately 250,000 <strong>SNP</strong>s for each array of the<br />

two array set. An overview of the <strong>assay</strong> is shown in Figure C.1. The<br />

<strong>assay</strong> utilizes a strategy that reduces the complexity of human genomic<br />

DNA up to 10 fold by first digesting the genomic DNA with the<br />

Nsp I or Sty I restriction enzyme and then ligating sequences onto the<br />

DNA fragments. The complexity is further reduced by a PCR<br />

procedure optimized for fragments of a specified size range. Following<br />

these steps the PCR products (amplicons) are fragmented, endlabeled,<br />

and hybridized to a GeneChip array.<br />

Arrays from different enzyme fractions should not be processed by<br />

the same technician on the same day.<br />
