Large scale variation in DNA copy number in chicken breeds [PDF]
Detecting genetic variation is a critical step in elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying phenotypic diversity. Until recently, such detection has mostly focused on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) because of the ease in screening complete genomes.

Germline copy number variation in the YTHDC2 gene: does it have a role in finding a novel potential molecular target involved in pancreatic adenocarcinoma susceptibility? [PDF]
Objective: The vast majority of pancreatic cancers occurs sporadically. The discovery of frequent variations in germline gene copy number can significantly influence the expression levels of genes that predispose to pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

Sequential Model Selection-Based Segmentation to Detect DNA Copy Number Variation [PDF]
Summary Array-based CGH experiments are designed to detect genomic aberrations or regions of DNA copy-number variation that are associated with an outcome, typically a state of disease. Most of the existing statistical methods target on detecting DNA copy number variations in a single sample or array.

DNA copy number variation: Main characteristics, evolutionary significance, and pathological aspects
Copy number variants (CNVs) were the subject of extensive research in the past years. They are common features of the human genome that play an important role in evolution, contribute to population diversity, development of certain diseases, and influence host-microbiome interactions.

Chromosomal Microarray Detection of Constitutional Copy Number Variation Using Saliva DNA [PDF]
Chromosomal microarray (CMA) testing to detect copy number aberrations among individuals with multiple congenital anomalies and/or developmental delay is typically performed on peripheral blood DNA. However, the use of saliva DNA may be preferred for some patients, which prompted our validation study using six saliva DNA samples with a range of ...

Abnormal plasma DNA profiles in early ovarian cancer using a non-invasive prenatal testing platform: Implications for cancer screening [PDF]
Background: Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) identifies fetal aneuploidy by sequencing cell-free DNA in the maternal plasma. Pre-symptomatic maternal malignancies have been incidentally detected during NIPT based on abnormal genomic profiles.
