Cytogenetics from Affymetrix
Tuesday, 27 January, 2009
Affymetrix has released its complete cytogenetic solution, combining the high-density SNP Array 6.0 with a simple assay and intuitive software, which provides cytogeneticists with an efficient and accurate method of detecting chromosomal abnormalities associated with congenital diseases such as autism and mental retardation. The Affymetrix Cytogenetic Solution was designed to discover more causative aberrations across the entire genome compared to other microarray platforms and traditional karyotyping techniques. The solution delivers copy number (CN) and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) information, enabling researchers to identify uniparental disomies – genetic abnormalities that are frequent in many congenital diseases. The Affymetrix Cytogenetic Solution includes: high-density SNP Array 6.0, simple and robust Cytogenetics Copy Number Assay, and intuitive Genotyping Console 3.0 software.
