Description
Overview
The Infinium Global Diversity Array with Cytogenetics-8 is a scalable, cost-effective microarray that contains approximately 1.8M probes, with 160K probes supplementing the current Global Diversity Array manifest across more than 4800 tiered genes. Supplemental probes were selected based on the input from a cytogenetics research consortium and strategically localized near exons, in spatial consideration of existing probe placement, to deliver optimal performance in copy number variation analysis.
Detect structural variation in the human genome, including duplications, deletions, amplifications, copy-neutral loss of heterozygosity, and mosaicism.
Examine cytogenomic changes in constitutional diseases, cancers, and more.
Process sample types including saliva, blood, and buccal swabs using the PCR-free Infinium HD Assay with only 200 ng DNA per sample.
Analyze formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) paired tumor-normal samples when used with the appropriate FFPE cluster file.
Broad clinical research applications
Markers were selected from clinical research databases, including ClinVar, CPIC, and PharmGKB, for a variety of research applications, including risk profiling, pharmacogenomics, wellness characterization, and disease discovery.
