  • Title: Parallel molecular genetic analysis.
    Author: McKenzie SE, Mansfield E, Rappaport E, Surrey S, Fortina P.
    Journal: Eur J Hum Genet; 1998; 6(5):417-29. PubMed ID: 9801865.
    Abstract:
    We describe recent progress in parallel molecular genetic analyses using DNA microarrays, gel-based systems, and capillary electrophoresis and utilization of these approaches in a variety of molecular biology assays. These applications include use of polymorphic markers for mapping of genes and disease-associated loci and carrier detection for genetic diseases. Application of these technologies in molecular diagnostics as well as fluorescent technologies in DNA analysis using immobilized oligonucleotide arrays on silicon or glass microchips are discussed. The array-based assays include sequencing by hybridization, cDNA expression profiling, comparative genome hybridization and genetic linkage analysis. Developments in non microarray-based, parallel analyses of mutations and gene expression profiles are reviewed. The promise of and recent progress in capillary array electrophoresis for parallel DNA sequence analysis and genotyping is summarized. Finally, a framework for decision making in selecting available technology options for specific molecular genetic analyses is presented.
