How is CGH Different from Other Genomic Techniques?
While Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) are also used to study genetic variations, CGH is unique in its ability to provide a comprehensive overview of CNVs across the entire genome. NGS offers higher resolution and can detect single nucleotide variations, but it is more expensive and requires more computational resources. PCR is highly specific and sensitive but is limited to targeted regions of the genome.
