This report details a very exciting new technology, which is both rapid and automated easily. While promising (this technology received the lion's share of US government funding for the private sector development of DNA diagnostic technology), a commercial product has not yet been developed. Although this technology is a potential boon to the diagnostic laboratory, the high cost of synthesizing a chip makes this a less useful technology for candidate gene screening.
