TaqMan® SNAP Assays

Applied Biosystems TaqMan SNP Genotyping Assay Sets are pre-defined collections of predesigned and custom TaqMan SNP Genotyping Assays derived from public databases and published articles. Predefined sets of assays greatly simplify analysis of a particular target class or pathway. The assays are delivered in individual tubes ready for loading into a 96- or 384-well plate (depending on assay set chosen). Simply add master mix and sample to start the analysis.

Currently available TaqMan Assay sets

Note: if you do not see an assay of interest included in a set, you can find it using the Assay Search.

Set nameSet information
Coronavirus Host Factor SetResearch studies are revealing the human genetic factors that contribute to the spectrum of coronavirus susceptibility and severity observed in different populations. To help expedite research on these critical factors, Thermo Fisher Scientific has collated information from the literature regarding these SNPs into one resource. This worksheet includes assay IDs and ordering information for these SNPs, dbSNP and gene details, and references to the relevant publications. To learn more, see:
Ancestry Informative Marker Set
The Seldin Lab at UC Davis and collaborators identified, validated, and characterized a set of 128 ancestry informative markers (AIMs) to provide a resource for assessing continental ancestry in a wide variety of genetic studies. To learn more, see:

P. falciparum Molecular Bar Code Set (Custom Assays)
Dr. Wiegand's lab at Broad Institute and his collaborators developed the Plasmodium falciparum (parasite that causes malaria) Molecular Bar Code Set leveraging genome-wide diversity data to create a concise and unique signature for every P. falciparum parasite genome. To learn more, see:

How to order assay sets:

  1. Choose a TaqMan Assay Set in the table above and open the assay list.
  2. Copy the complete list of Assay ID numbers.
  3. Go to the TaqMan Assay Search Tool and select the Batch ID Search method of searching for assays. Paste the copied Assay IDs into the text box.
  4. Click the Search button and proceed with the ordering process.
    Note: For the P. falciparum Molecular Bar Code Set (Custom Assays), follow the custom assay instructions in the Assay List Excel file.
