description: The Axiom®Turkey  Genotyping Array interrogates 643,845 probesets on the array, covering 643,845 SNPs. The array development was led by Dr. Julie Long of the USDA-ARS Beltsville Agricultural Research Center under a public-private partnership with Hendrix Genetics, Aviagen, and Affymetrix. The Turkey Genome Sequencing Consortium led the efforts to sequence the turkey genome. The SNP marker discovery effort was led by Prof. Martien Groenen of the Animal Breeding and Genomics Centre at Wageningen University in the Netherlands, and was funded by USDA’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture. The SNP markers on the turkey array were selected by Dr. Curt Van Tassell of the USDA-ARS Beltsville Agricultural Research Center.
  Reference genome version for which chromosome and position coordinates are given: UMD 5.0
