Biotechnology Chapter 8 Day 2 Questions Briefly discuss whole-genome tiling arrays, quasi-whole-genome arrays, splice junction arrays, and exon scanning arrays. For humans, only a chromosome 21 and chromosome 22 whole genome array is available. Why these chromosomes?  What did the book mention was learned from this platform?  What technology has supplanted whole genome arrays? Compare … Continue reading Chips, ChIP-chips, ChIP-seqs, other seqs, and, um, reporter genes
