Abstract

DNA CNV is fundamental to study molecular etiology of human diseases such as developmental disorder and cancer [1, 2]. The current CNV detection relies on hybridization or semi quantitative PCR whose technical limitations compromise the accuracy. In addition, current techniques are not able to reliably differentiate less than a twofold change in CNV [3,4]. This paper presents a novel gene copy number variation (CNV) detection method named quantum dot (QD) Electrophoretic Mobility Shift Assay (QEMSA). This nanoassay demonstrates a remarkable resolution, capable of distinguishing a 1.1-fold (∼9%) difference in target copy number.
