How is the normalization performed to allow CNV analysis? Are there reference samples within the kit?

here are no reference samples included with this kit. Customers will have to generate their own reference.

There are number of ways that CNV analysis can be performed. We do not offer bioinformatics support or analysis products along with PicoPLEX DNA-seq. There are many approaches to calculating CNV.

We can offer some examples that show how some perform CNV analysis:
