Thermo Fisher Scientific Axiom Pan-African Cancer Research Assay Kit, array 2

Applied Biosystems™ 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.
This kit enables the discovery of novel disease associations with prostate and other cancers for African populations as well as other 1000G super-populations. It provides high coverage of whole-genome common variants (minor allele frequency >5%) and rare variants (MAF >1%).

For the Pan-African Research Assay Kit (array 1), please see Cat. No. 952406.
