Evaluation of a Chicken 600K SNP genotyping array in non-model species of grouse.

ABSTRACT: The use of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays to generate large SNP datasets for comparison purposes have recently become an attractive alternative to other genotyping methods. Although most SNP arrays were originally developed for domestic organisms, they can be effectively applied to wild relatives to obtain large panels of SNPs. In this study, we tested the cross-species application of the Affymetrix 600K Chicken SNP array in five species of North American prairie grouse (Centrocercus and Tympanuchus genera). Two individuals were genotyped per species for a total of ten samples. A high proportion (91%) of the total 580 961 SNPs were genotyped in at least one individual (73-76% SNPs genotyped per species). Principal component analysis with autosomal SNPs separated the two genera
