Illumina Infinium iSelect 63K Cat DNA Array

The Illumina Infinium iSelect 63K Cat DNA Array was developed using ~9.55 million SNPs from three genome sequencing efforts. Selection criteria included: avoiding rare SNPs, SNPs near repeats or within duplication sites, SNPs with more than one allele and SNPs only found in Cinnamon, the Abyssinian cat used for genome sequencing of the cat. Approximately 5,000 SNPs that were identified in the wildcat were also submitted as well as phenotypic SNPs and SNPs that suggested phylogenetic importance in felids.
