Abstract
A method of obtaining a corrected image of a microarray includes acquiring an image of a microarray including a target spot, and processing the image to correct for background noise and chip misalignment. The method also includes analyzing the image to identify a target patch, edit debris, and correct for ratio bias; and detecting single copy number variation in the target spot using an objective statistical analysis that includes a t-value statistical analysis. The method provides statistically robust computational processes for accurately detecting genomic variation at the single copy level.
