Array CGH
摘要
Array comparative genome hybridization, array CGH or aCGH, enable dense interrogation of copy number alterations at specific loci or the entire human genome, and even allele-specific characterization of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs); they are commonly referred to as oligo-arrays and SNP-arrays, respectively, or chromosomal microarrays in general. Here we present an overview of the state of the field, potential applications, detailed protocols on the use and a troubleshooting guide.
