    Abstract: A biosensor, sensor array, sensing method and sensing apparatus are provided in which individual cells or randomly mixed populations of cells, having unique response characteristics to chemical and biological materials, are deployed in a plurality of discrete sites on a substrate. In a preferred embodiment, the discrete sites comprise microwells formed at the distal end of individual fibers within a fiber optic array. The biosensor array utilizes an optically interrogatable encoding scheme for determining the identity and location of each cell type in the array and provides for simultaneous measurements of large number of individual cell respnses to target analyses. The sensing method utilizes the unique ability of cell populations to respond to biologically significant compounds in a characteristic and detectable manner. The biosensor array and measurement method may be employed in the study of biologically active materials in situ environmental monitoring, monitoring of a variety of bioprocesses, and for high throughput screening of large combinatorial chemical libraries.

    Abstract: The invention provides methods of monitoring expression levels of different polymorphic forms of a gene. Such methods entail analyzing genomic DNA from an individual to determine the presence of heterozygous polymorphic forms at a polymorphic site within a transcribed sequence of a gene of interest. RNA from a tissue of the individual in which the gene is expressed is then analyzed to determine relative proportions of polymorphic forms in transcript of the gene. Having identified alleles of a gene that are expressed at different levels, the alleles can be further analyzed to locate a second polymorphism that has a causative role in the different expression levels. The methods are amenable to analyzing large collections of genes simultaneously using arrays of immobilized probes.
