Answer Description
The use of dense arrays of oligonucleotides deposited on glass slides, subjected to fluorescent Comparative Genomic Hybridization. Probe Intensity Analysis (see Analysis Types below) use test:reference ratios to detect copy number changes. Advantages: one can "scan" an entire genome very rapidly; high sensitivity. Disadvantages: cannot detect inversions or complex rearrangements; cannot determine genomic location of copy number gains (and in some cases losses); resolution not as high as sequencing. Another very popular method for detecting structural variation.
