摘要:
Methods and kits for amplifying nucleic acids are provided. Double stranded cDNA with uridine residues incorporated into one strand is synthesized and the uridine containing strand is nicked at uridine residues. The DNA is extended from the nicks in the presence of dUTP using a strand displacing enzyme. Repeated cycles of nicking and extension result in amplification of the nucleic acid. Methods are also provided for analysis of the above sample by hybridization to an array, which may be specifically designed to interrogate the collection of target sequences for particular characteristics, such as, for example, the presence or absence of one or more polymorphisms or the presence or absence of a transcript.

Methods are provided for preparing nucleic acid arrays on a support. In these methods a plurality of nucleic acids are synthesized on the support and the synthesis steps include oxidizing a phosphite triester nucleic acid linkage to a phosphate triester nucleic acid linkage using a solution about 0.005 to about 0.05 M iodine in a mixture comprising water and organic solvent.

Provided are functionalized silicon compounds and methods for their synthesis and use. The functionalized silicon compounds include at least one activated silicon group and at least one derivatizable functional group. Exemplary derivatizable functional groups include hydroxyl, amino, carboxyl and thiol, as well as modified forms thereof, such as activated or protected forms. The functionalized silicon compounds may be covalently attached to surfaces to form functionalized surfaces which may be used in a wide range of different applications. In one embodiment, the silicon compounds are attached to the surface of a substrate comprising silica, such as a glass substrate, to provide a functionalized surface on the substrate, to which molecules, including polypeptides and nucleic acids, may be attached. In one embodiment, after covalent attachment of a functionalized silicon compound to the surface of a solid silica substrate to form a functionalized coating on the substrate, an array of nucleic acids may be covalently attached to the substrate. Thus, the method permits the formation of high density arrays of nucleic acids immobilized on a substrate, which may be used, for example, in conducting high volume nucleic acid hybridization assays.

Nucleic acid labeling compounds are disclosed. The compounds are synthesized by condensing a heterocyclic derivative with a cyclic group (e.g. a ribofaranose derivative). The labeling compounds are suitable for enzymatic attachment to a nucleic acid, either terminally or internally, to provide a mechanism of nucleic acid detection.
摘要:
In accordance with the present invention, methods are presented for labeling a cDNA strand with a labeled ribonucleotide base precursor which upon exposure to Mg2+, heat and base cleaves the cDNA at each place of incorporation of an RNA. In accordance with an aspect of the present invention, compounds selected from the group consisting of are incorporated into the growing strand of a cDNA by a reverse transcriptase or a mutant reverse transcriptase. After subject the strands to Mg2+, base and heat, the 3′ OH causes cleavage of the cDNA leaving a 2′OH phosphate with a biotin label. The biotin provides a label which may be bound to streptavidin and thereafter hybridized to a nucleic acid array.
