Moreover, both small nucleotide polymorphisms and/or larger gene
deletions can be witnessed. More importantly, the biological implications of these
polymorphisms can be inferred by the encoded genetic content. As a consequence,
array-based differentiation is fundamentally more informative than the fingerprinting
methods described above, given that the witnessed differences are linked to an in
silico prediction of the underlying metabolism. To date, relatively few groups have
used CGH to characterize wine yeasts.
