Genotyping by APEX method is not a quantitative process, it is rather than yes or no approach. Therefore the 10 um resolution, which is optional for quantitative applications like gene expression profiling, is not needed for Aspers genotyping procedure. As here the analyzing speed is very important and it is optimized to be fast, the pictures with 10 micron resolution are much bigger and it makes analysis slow and heavy-handed.
