title: From array to array: confirmation of genomic gains and losses discovered by array-based comparative genomic hybridization utilizing fluorescence in situ hybridization on tissue microarrays.
abstract: The combination of array-based comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) with fluorescence in situ hybridization utilizing custom-designed bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) probes applied to tissue microarrays represents a powerful compendium of techniques-greatly enhancing the throughput of genomic analysis and subsequent target validation. Such approach can be automated at various levels and allows managing large volume of targets and samples in a few experiments. As such, this approach facilitates discovery, validation and implementation of findings in the process of identification of new diagnostic, prognostic and potentially therapeutic molecular markers.
