Affymetrix Targeted Genotyping SNP Assays

Targeted genotyping is a new technology based on the use of molecular inversion probes, which offer a highly sensitive, virtually background-free method of detecting single nucleotide polymorphisms in DNA samples.

This approach should be useful for the analysis of 1500 - 20,000 SNPs in human DNA samples and should be particularly useful for clinical association studies.

Targeted genotyping assays should be available in the KUGR facility in fall, 2006.
