Abstract
Disclosed is a method for performing nucleic acid hybridization assays which involve the application of acoustic surface waves. The hybridization assays may be used for detecting and mapping chromosomal or genetic abnormalities associated with various diseases or associated with predisposition to various diseases. In a particular aspect, the present method relates to the use of rapid nucleic acid hybridization methods, such as comparative genomic hybridization (CGH), for comparing nucleic acid segments of one genome to corresponding nucleic acid segments in another genome(s).
