description: Illumina’s HumanHap550 Genotyping BeadChip enables whole-genome genotyping of over 555,000 tag SNP markers derived from the International HapMap Project (www.hapmap.org). The HumanHap550 Genotyping BeadChip contains > 555,000 SNP loci with high-density tag SNP content that provides comprehensive genomic coverage across multiple populations. In addition, there are 4,300 SNPs in recently reported copy number polymorphism regions of the genome, 7,800 nsSNPs, 1,800 tag SNPs in the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC), 177 mitochondrial SNPs, and 11 Y-chromosome SNPs.
