MLGA--a rapid and cost-efficient assay for gene copy-number analysis

• Structural variation is an important cause of genetic variation. Whole genome analysis techniques can efficiently identify copy-number variable regions but there is a need for targeted methods, to verify and accurately size variable regions, and to diagnose large sample cohorts. We have developed a technique based on multiplex amplification of size-coded selectively circularized genomic fragments, which is robust, cheaper and more rapid than current multiplex targeted copy-number assays.
