arrayCGHSNParray

arrayCGHSNParray refers to a type of microarray technology used for the simultaneous detection of both copy number variations (CNVs) and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). This combined approach offers a powerful tool for genomic analysis by allowing researchers to identify regions of the genome that are present in an abnormal number of copies (gains or losses) as well as pinpoint specific genetic variations at the nucleotide level. The technology typically relies on hybridization-based methods where labeled DNA samples from an individual are hybridized to a solid-phase array containing probes designed to target specific genomic loci. The binding of the sample DNA to these probes, and the subsequent detection of the label, provides quantitative information about the copy number of each targeted region and the genotype at SNP locations. This dual functionality makes arrayCGHSNParray arrays valuable in various research areas, including the study of genetic diseases, cancer genomics, and population genetics, where understanding both structural variations and sequence polymorphisms is crucial for comprehensive genomic profiling.
