          As of the date of this Amendment No. 2, Glaxo Wellcome is the
ultimate parent holding company with respect to all of the other Glaxo
Reporting Persons, other than Mr. Douglas M. Hurt and Dr. Barry C. Ross.

None of Glaxo Wellcome, Glaxo Group, Glaxo Venture, Wellcome Limited,

          Information contained herein with respect to each Glaxo Reporting
Person is given solely by such Glaxo Reporting Person and no Glaxo Reporting
Person has the responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of information
supplied by another Glaxo Reporting Person.  The agreement among the Glaxo
Reporting Persons relating to the joint filing of this Schedule 13D is
attached as Exhibit 1 hereto.

          (d) and (e) During the last five years, none of the Glaxo Reporting
Persons and, to the best knowledge of the Glaxo Reporting Persons, none of
the other persons named in this Item 2,  has been (i) convicted in a criminal
proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) a
party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent
jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding has been or is subject to a
judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or
prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities
laws or finding any violations of such laws.

ITEM 3.   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

          The information contained in Item 3 of Schedule 13D is hereby
amended and supplemented by the information set forth in Items 4 and 5 below,
which is hereby incorporated by reference herein.

ITEM 4.   Purpose of Transaction.

          Item 4 of Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following
paragraphs:

          On November 25, 1999, Affymax exercised the Affymetrix Warrant, dated
December 29, 1994, to purchase 68,921 shares of Affymetrix Common Stock at
$8.25 per share.  Also on that date, Affymax Technologies exercised three
warrants to purchase an aggregate of 134,960 shares of Affymetrix Common

                                                           Page 17 of 29 Pages

Stock at $8.25 per share.  These conversions of warrants by Affymax and
Affymax Technologies were made for investment purposes only.

          On May 2, 2000, Affymax sold its beneficial interest in 2,000,000
shares of Affymetrix Common Stock to Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith
Inc. at a price of $120.00 per share. The shares were owned of record by
Affymetrix Technologies, a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Affymax.

          The Glaxo Reporting Persons have been reviewing, and intend to
review on a continuing basis, their remaining investment in the Company, and
the Glaxo Reporting Persons may decide to increase or decrease their
investment in the Company depending upon the price and availability of the
Company's securities, subsequent developments affecting the Company, the
Company's business and prospects, other investment and business opportunities
available to the Glaxo Reporting Persons, general stock market and economic
conditions, tax and accounting considerations and other factors.  The May 2,
2000 disposition of 2,000,000 shares of Affymetrix Common Stock is consistent
with that strategy.

          Other than as described above, none of the Glaxo Reporting Persons
have any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the
actions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D
(although they reserve the right to develop such plans).

ITEM 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

          Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as
follows:

          As of April 12, 2000, based upon information set forth in the
Schedule 14A filed by the Company on April 28, 2000, there were 27,380,418
shares of Affymetrix Common Stock outstanding.  In addition, for purposes of
Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, the shares of Affymetrix Common Stock with
respect to the options for Dr. Barry C. Ross increase the diluted number of
shares of Affymetrix Common Stock outstanding to 27,433,750.  The Affymetrix
Common Stock ownership percentages for Glaxo Wellcome and Dr. Barry C. Ross
set forth below are based on this diluted number of shares.

          (a) and (b) The Letter Agreement, dated August 6, 1999, entered
into by Glaxo Wellcome and the Company, pursuant to which Glaxo Wellcome
agreed to a lock-up period with respect to its sale or transfer of Affymetrix
Common Stock, terminated on December 1, 1999 in accordance with its terms and
is of no further force and effect.

          Paragraph four of Item 2 hereof is hereby incorporated by reference
herein.

          As of the date of this Amendment No. 2, Glaxo Wellcome may be
deemed the beneficial owner of 6,055,626 shares of Affymetrix Common Stock,
representing 22.1% of the outstanding shares of Affymetrix Common Stock.  As
the ultimate parent company of all of the other Glaxo Reporting Persons,
other than Mr. Douglas M. Hurt and Dr. Barry C. Ross, and as the beneficial
owner of the Affymetrix Common Stock held by Mr. Douglas M. Hurt and the
stock options held by Mr. Barry C. Ross, Glaxo Wellcome may be deemed to have
sole power to vote or direct the vote and to dispose or direct the
disposition of all such shares of Affymetrix Common Stock.

          As of the date of this Amendment No. 2, Glaxo Group may be deemed
the beneficial owner of 5,962,296 shares of Affymetrix Common Stock,
representing approximately 21.8% of the outstanding shares of Affymetrix
Common Stock.  Of that total amount, Glaxo Group, as an indirect parent
company of both Affymax and Affymax Technologies, may be deemed to have sole
power to vote or direct the vote and to dispose or direct the disposition of
4,705,067 of such shares of Affymetrix Common Stock. As a 16.66% holder of
Wellcome Holdings, Glaxo Group may be deemed to share power with Wellcome
Limited, which holds 83.34% of Wellcome Holdings, to vote or direct the vote
and to dispose or direct the disposition of 1,257,229 shares of Affymetrix
Common Stock, which shares are held directly by Glaxo Americas.

          As of the date of this Amendment No. 2, Glaxo Venture may be deemed
the beneficial owner of 4,705,067 shares of Affymetrix Common Stock,
representing approximately 17.2% of the outstanding shares of Affymetrix
Common Stock.  As the parent company of Affymax, which in turn is the parent
company of Affymax Technologies, Glaxo Venture may be deemed to have sole
power to vote or direct the vote and to dispose or direct the disposition of
all of such shares of Affymetrix Common Stock.

          As of the date of this Amendment No. 2, Affymax may be deemed the
beneficial owner of 4,705,067 shares of Affymetrix Common Stock, representing
approximately 17.2% of the outstanding shares of Affymetrix Common Stock.
Affymax directly owns 958,475 shares of Affymetrix Common Stock and may be
deemed to beneficially own, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Affymax
Technologies, 3,746,592 shares of Affymetrix Common Stock.  Affymax may be
deemed to have sole power to vote or direct the vote and to dispose or direct
the disposition of all of such shares of Affymetrix Common Stock.

          As of the date of this Amendment No. 2, Affymax Technologies may be
deemed the beneficial owner of 3,746,592 shares of Affymetrix Common Stock,
representing approximately 13.7% of the outstanding shares of Affymetrix
Common Stock.  Although Affymax Technologies holds 3,611,632 of such shares
for the benefit of Affymax, Affymax Technologies is the record owner of all
3,746,592 shares.  Affymax Technologies may therefore be deemed to have sole
power to vote or direct the vote and to dispose or direct the disposition of
all of such shares of Affymetrix Common Stock. Affymax Technologies disclaims

beneficial ownership of the 3,611,632 shares of Affymetrix Common Stock it
holds for the benefit of Affymax, and the filing of this Amendment No. 2
shall not be construed as an admission that Affymax Technologies is the
beneficial owner of those shares.

          As of the date of this Amendment No. 2, Wellcome Limited may be
deemed the beneficial owner of 1,257,229 shares of Affymetrix Common Stock,
