Copy Number Variation

Individual genomes vary, not only in sequence, but in both their structural organization and in the number of sequence copies they contain. We now have the technology to understand the mechanisms by which genomes diverge, and to investigate the consequences of copy number variation for gene expression and clinical phenotypes. With sponsorship from Agilent Technologies, we present a Focus on copy number variation highlighting the complementary roles of paired-end sequencing and oligonucleotide array technology in research discovery.
