A study was conducted which reported the development of molecular inversion probe technology with four-color, single array detection, applied to large-scale genotyping of up to 12,000 SNPs per reaction. Results of the study demonstrate the suitability of the technology for comprehensive association studies that use targeted SNPs in indirect linkage disequilibrium studies or that directly look for causative mutations.

A genomic DNA pool is used as a template by which, 100 fragments are amplified and subsequently combined and subjected en masse to the MRD procedure. The results support that MRD-based SNP discovery can be used for large-scale discovery of SNPs at low frequencies in a population.
