Predesigned TaqMan™ Copy Number Assays are ideal for analysis of copy number variation (CNV) and smaller regions in human and mouse genomes. CNV is an important polymorphism associated with diseases such as cancer, immune diseases and neurological disorders as well as drug metabolism.

  • Simplest method available to study copy number variation
  • Assays available for common vector market and reporter genes
  • Measure distinct copy number changes quantitatively with high specificity and reproducibility

The human assay collection includes over 1.6 million assays targeting gene exons and introns, extragenic regions, and CNV sequences from the Database of Genomic Variants (DGV). The mouse collection includes over 180,000 assays targeting gene exons. Assays to common vector marker and reporter genes are also available for transgenic studies.

Description

Predesigned TaqMan® Copy Number Assays are ideal for analysis of copy number variation (CNV) and smaller regions in human and mouse genomes. CNV is an important polymorphism associated with diseases such as cancer, immune diseases and neurological disorders as well as drug metabolism.

  • Simplest method available to study copy number variation
  • Assays available for common vector market and reporter genes
  • Measure distinct copy number changes quantitatively with high specificity and reproducibility
The human assay collection includes over 1.6 million assays targeting gene exons and introns, extragenic regions, and CNV sequences from the Database of Genomic Variants (DGV). The mouse collection includes over 180,000 assays targeting gene exons. Assays to common vector marker and reporter genes are also available for transgenic studies.
