Questions and Answers

What are the two types of platforms used for whole-genome analysis?

  • High-density oligonucleotide microarray and NGS (correct)
  • Sanger sequencing and RNA-seq
  • Gene expression analysis and chromatin immunoprecipitation
  • Low-density oligonucleotide microarray and PCR

What is the primary difference between high-density oligonucleotide microarray and NGS platforms?

  • One is used for gene expression analysis and the other for genotyping
  • One is based on PCR and the other is based on sequencing
  • One is high-throughput and the other is low-throughput
  • One is used for whole-genome analysis and the other is used for targeted sequencing (correct)

Which of the following is NOT a type of platform used for whole-genome analysis?
