Genotyping and Copy Number Analysis

two-gene-chipsThe Affymetrix GeneChip system is a commercial platform that enables rapid, reproducible, and accurate microarray analysis on a genome-wide scale. The Affymetrix GeneChip platform can be used for gene expression profiling, genotype analysis, copy number analysis, gene regulation analysis, and resequencing: really anything that involves sequence-specific nucleic-acid hybridization.

Affymetrix GeneChip™ System for Genotyping/Copy Number Analysis
The Affymetrix GeneChip system is a commercial microarray platform that allows high-throughput genotyping for human samples with as little as 500 ng of genomic DNA. The Genome-Wide Human SNP Array 6.0 can be used for both genotype and copy number analysis. The array contains more than 906,000 SNPs and more than 946,000 probes for the detection of copy number variation.

Affymetrix DMET™ Plus Drug Metabolism Arrays
The Affymetrix DMET Plus array features markers in all FDA-validated genes and covers more than 90 percent of the current ADME Core markers as defined by the PharmaADME group. Affymetrix developed this drug metabolism panel in collaboration with key opinion leaders from both industry and academia. The array contains 1936 markers (SNPs, In/Dels, and copy number) in more than 230 genes.
