Which of the following is false regarding microarray technique

Core principle is DNA Hybridization

Also known as DNA chip or biochip

Can detect deletions and insertions

Can detect Robertsonian translocation

High-Yield Explanation

Microarray assay can't detect certain chromosome rearrangements such as balanced translocations (eg: Robertsonian translocations) and inversions. Although there has been an exchange of DNA, there is no net gain or loss of DNA. Hence microarray can't detect it.
