iScan Applications & Methods
Key Applications and Methods
High-throughput, multiplex human genotyping microarrays allow for powerful global, population-scale studies. Quickly and cost-effectively identify mutations and structural variations in diverse human populations or biobank samples. Human genotyping arrays support whole-genome, targeted genome, and exome analyses, with expert-defined content, and consortia-developed content arrays for specific applications.
