The Study of Copy Number Variations (CNVs) Using the 12.765 Digital Array
28 Jul 2008: Copy number variation (CNV) is a polymorphism studied extensively because of its close association with drug metabolism, cancer, immune diseases, and neurological disorders. Conventional technologies such as comparative genomic hybridization, high density SNP genotyping arrays are limited for CNV analysis. Instead, this application note demonstrates how the 12.765 Digital Array enables a new level of sensitivity and flexibility in detecting copy number variations. Fluidigm Corporation

Enabling Loss of Heterozygosity Studies Using BioMark Digital Arrays 28 Jul 2008: Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) refers to a change from a heterozygous state in a normal genome to a homozygous state in a paired tumor genome. This application note demonstrates how the 12.765 Digital Array enables a new level of sensitivity and flexibility in detecting LOH, through experiments on abnormal X chromosome copy number or aneuploidy.

Efficient Drug Metabolism Studies Using the BioMark System 28 Jul 2008: The BioMark system streamlines drug metabolism studies by allowing accurate copy number and SNP genotyping studies to be performed on a single, easy-to-use system. This experiment demonstrates how the BioMark digital and dynamic arrays are used to determine the copy number of the CYP2D6 gene and the SNP status of the CYP2D6 and CYP2C9 genes.

BioMark System for Rapid, Reliable, and Cost Effective Genotyping
28 Jul 2008: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most common form of genetic variation found in the genome of any organism. Although SNP genotypes are a powerful tool for understanding disease disposition and drug metabolism, genotyping of large populations has been impractical because of the running costs and time associated with conventional microwell plate-based systems. This application note demonstrates how the BioMark system is a highly efficient alternative. Fluidigm Corporation
