description: The Axiom® Maize Genotyping Array interrogates 616,201 polymorphic variants (609,442 SNPs and 6,759 indels) to represent the global diversity in the maize genome. Development of the array is described in the following publication:
  Unterseer S, Bauer E, Haberer G, Seidel M, Knaak C, Ouzunova M, Meitinger T, Strom TM, Fries R, Pausch H, Bertani C, Davassi A, Mayer KFX, Schön C-C (2014) A powerful tool for genome analysis in maize: development and evaluation of the high density 600 k SNP genotyping array. BMC Genomics 15:823, PMID: 25266061
  The array was designed by the AgroClustER Synbreed (funded by the German Ministry of Education and Research, BMBF) through a collaboration led by Prof. Dr. Chris-Carolin Schön, Dr. Eva Bauer, and Sandra Unterseer (Technische Universität München, Germany), and Dr. Georg Haberer and Michael Seidel (Helmholtz Zentrum München, Germany) through Affymetrix® Expert Design Program.
