description: The EmArray Cyto6000 is a custom oligonucleotide microarray that is designed to detect gains and losses across the genome by combining targeted and genome-wide array analyses. The array contains high density coverage for clinically relevant deletion/duplication syndromes and the telomere and pericentromeric regions. In addition, it also contains genome-wide coverage with an average probe spacing of ~75 kb. The array is designed to detect gains or losses at a minimum of 500 kb across the genome, or smaller for regions of known microdeletion/duplication syndromes or targeted genes. The array was built using a commercial platform (Agilent Technologies) and contains approximately 44,000 oligonucleotides (60mers) that represent coding and noncoding human sequences in the genome (content sourced from the UCSC hg17 human genome: NCBI build 35, May 2004).
