( ecificity and flexibility of themicroa...)Breakthrough Microarray-based Technology for the Study of Cancer

ecificity and flexibility of the microarray platforms. As detailed in the PNAS paper, Agilent's breakthrough is founded on the modification of its gene-expression profiling microarray technology to improve its utility for DNA analysis applications. This new platform provides high sensitivity, enabling CGH researchers to reliably identify the single copy deletions in chromosomes that have been the most difficult to detect. Additionally, the technology allows for the use of total genomic DNA to detect chromosomal changes across the entire genome. The Platform enables amplification or non-amplification of total genomic DNA in studies of the whole genome, providing better ease of use and improved experimental design.
