%X Gene chip is a high-throughput technique for detecting specific DNA sequences by DNA or DNA-RNA complementary hybridization, among which SNP genotyping chips have been widely employed in the animal genetics and breeding, and have made great achievements in cattle (Bos taurus), pigs (Sus scrofa), sheep (Caprinae), chickens (Gallus gallus) and other livestock. However, genomic selection applied in production merely uses genomic information and cannot fully explain the molecular mechanism of complex traits genetics, which limits the accuracy of genomic selection. With the continuous progresses in epigenetic research, the development of commercial methylation chips and the application of the epigenome-wide association study (EWAS), DNA methylation has been extensively used to draw the causal connections between genetics and phenotypes. In the future, it is hopefully expected to develop methylation chips customized for livestock and poultry and explore methylation sites significantly related to economic traits of livestock and poultry through EWAS thereby extending the understanding of causal variation of complex traits. Combining methylation chips and SNP chips, we can capture the epigenomic and genomic information of livestock and poultry, interpret genetic variation more precisely, improve the accuracy of genome selection, and promote the fine evolution of molecular genetic breeding of livestock and poultry. In this review, we summarize the application of SNP chips and depict the prospects of the application of methylation chips in livestock and poultry. This review will provide valuable insights for further application of gene chips in farm animal breeding.<BR>基因芯片是一种通过DNA双链或DNA-RNA互补杂交检测特定DNA序列的高通量技术，其中SNP基因分型芯片已经广泛用于畜禽的遗传育种工作，在牛(Bos taurus)、猪(Sus scrofa)、羊(Caprinae)、鸡(Gallus gallus)等畜禽中取得了重大成就。但是在实际生产中使用的基因组选择仅利用了基因组信息，无法完全解释复杂性状的分子遗传基础，限制了基因组选择的准确性。随着表观遗传学研究的不断深入、商用甲基化芯片的推出、表观基因组关联分析(epigenome-wide association study，EWAS)的提出，DNA甲基化已被广泛用于解释遗传与表型的因果关系。未来，有望开发专门针对畜禽的甲基化芯片，通过EWAS探索与畜禽经济性状显著相关的甲基化位点，深化对复杂性状因果变异的理解。结合甲基化芯片与SNP芯片捕获畜禽表观基因组和基因组信息，更准确地解读遗传变异，提高基因组选择的准确性，推动畜禽分子遗传育种工作的精细化发展。本文综述了SNP芯片在畜禽上的应用，并对甲基化芯片在畜禽上的应用进行了展望，以期为基因芯片在动物育种中的进一步应用提供借鉴和参考。.
