Applications
Array-Based Cytogenetics
Illumina offers a broad portfolio of genome-wide analysis BeadChips that enable researchers to analyze structural variation at varying levels of detail, from routine cytogenetic screening to sample profiling with up to 1.2 million markers to examine both known and novel variants. More...
DNA Sequencing
The Genome Analyzer system's powerful combination of read-length and paired-end flexibility enables the broadest range of genomic sequencing applications. Illumina's robust sequencing chemistry supports a wide range of read lengths, allowing researchers to tailor each run to meet their needs. More...
Products
Study chromosomal abnormalities such as amplifications, deletions, rearrangements, copy number changes, and copy-neutral loss of heterozygosity (LOH) with Illumina's efficient and easy-to-run Infinium HD BeadChips or the Genome Analyzer high-throughput sequencing system. Achieve substantially higher resolution than G-banding, FISH, and CGH with either or both platforms, and expand the scope and depth of your cytogenetic analysis.
Infinium HD BeadChips: Complete Genome-Wide Coverage in Multi-Sample Array Formats
Illumina's revolutionary Infinium HD technology allows for unconstrainted design of SNP orintensity-only markers, enabling dense, uniform coverage across the genome and the ability to target high-value genomic regions. From 300,000 markers on the HumanCytoSNP-12 BeadChip to more than 1.1 million markers per sample on the HumanOmni1-Quad BeadChip, Infinium HD BeadChips support high-resolution copy number and LOH analysis with median marker spacing down to 1kb.
