Proof-of-principle is delivered for EBV-transformed lymphoblastoid cells as well as human blastomeres. To this end, multiple displacement amplified DNA samples of single cells were hybridized to Affymetrix 250K SNP-arrays.

This method to infer genome-wide haplotypes from the analysis of only one or two cells has tremendous applicative value. It has the capacity to revolutionize not only genetic diagnosis of preimplantation in vitro fertilized human embryos in the clinic, but also animal breeding programs by enabling genome-wide quantitative trait loci selection at the embryonic level.
