Mouse Genotyping Products

There are two Mouse Linkage Panels available: the Low Density Linkage and the Medium Density Linkage. Both panels are designed for use to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) and candidate gene mapping. The SNPs for the panels were chosen from the Welcome-CTC Mouse Strain SNP Genotype Set. For a fact sheet comparing both panels, click here.

The Low Density Panel consists of 377 loci, optimized for application to N2 & F2 mouse genetic crosses. These can be used for QTL mapping. To see coverage by chromosome, click here. For the genotypes in 10 strains, click here.

The Medium Density Panel consists of 1,449 loci, optimized for various mapping applications including characterization of transgenic, congenic & knockout animals, and genetic mapping in advanced intercross mouse lines.

Custom Mouse Genotyping panels can also be created, using the SNPs listed on the Welcome-CTC web-site.

Analysis software: If you wish to use Illumina's Bead Studio software to analyze your data, licenses are available for internal JHU customers for $2,000 each. This does not include the methylation module.
