CustomSeq Resequencing Array

index | previous question | next question

Can I detect Insertions or Deletions on a resequencing array?

In general the arrays and software are most optimal for detection of SNPs. Unknown indels will be very difficult to automatically detect with the current array and software. For known indels we can try to tile (see below) for them but do not make any claims with respect to accuracy.

INDELS Known insertions can be tiled for. Specific performance is not guaranteed. Known homozygous deletions can be tiled for. Specific performance is not guaranteed. Unknown INDELS or heterogeneous deletions will not be detected.
