"New Array-Based Assay Provides Parallel Interrogation of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) Distributed Across the Human Genome
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 31 /PRNewswire/ -- Affymetrix, Inc. (Nasdaq: AFFX - news) introduced today the GeneChip© HuSNP(TM) Mapping Assay..."
As a GeneChip user, I got the following advertisement this morning in my email. Must have gone out to all the frequent customers. Nothing much different from the press-release, but this mailing appears tuned a bit more for the technical reader.

Dear Colleague-
If you're involved in genotyping or mapping studies, here's good news about a discovery tool that could add significant productivity and economic benefit to your research!
Affymetrix has just introduced the GeneChip HuSNP Mapping Assay, a powerful new tool for genetic linkage mapping.
The HuSNP Assay offers simultaneous interrogation of nearly 1500 human single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) randomly distributed across all 22 autosomes and the X chromosome, all on a single probe array. Assay benefits include:
- operating cost savings in sample preparation (multiplex PCR), processing, and data analysis;
- throughput up to 180 samples, or > 270,000 genotyped markers in 24-hour, continuous operation;
- intelligent probe design, highly tuned algorithms, and controlled manufacturing.
The GeneChip HuSNP assay is the first in a growing line of genotyping products from Affymetrix and is now available at special introductory pricing.
