NEW YORK (GenomeWeb News) – Agilent Technologies and WiCell said today they are teaming up to offer comparative genomic hybridization plus single nucleotide polymorphism microarray analysis services using the Agilent SurePrint G3 Human Genome CGH+SNP Microarray.

The microarray detects copy number changes by both SNP and CGH while simultaneously delivering copy-neutral change information such as loss or absence of heterozygosity, the companies said. They added that the assay maintains the high-resolution quality achieved with CGH-only microarrays.
