    摘要: The invention provides methods for determining genome-wide sequence variations associated with a phenotype of a species in a hypothesis-free manner. In the methods of the invention, a set of restriction fragments for each of a sub-population of individuals having the phenotype are generated by digesting nucleic acids from the individual using one or more different restriction enzymes. A set of restriction sequence tags for the individual is then determined from the set of restriction fragments. The restriction sequence tags for the sub-population of organisms are compared and grouped into one or more groups, each of which comprising restriction sequence tags that comprise homologous sequences. The obtained one or more groups of restriction sequence tags identify the sequence variations associated with the phenotype. The methods of the invention can be used for, e.g., analysis of large numbers of sequence variants in many patient samples to identify subtle genetic risk factors.

    摘要: An apparatus and system are provided for simultaneously analyzing a plurality of analytes anchored to microparticles. Microparticles each having a uniform population of a single kind of analyte attached are disposed as a substantially immobilized planar array inside of a flow chamber where steps of an analytical process are carried out by delivering a sequence of processing reagents to the microparticles by a fluidic system under microprocessor control. In response to such process steps, an optical signal is generated at the surface of each microparticle which is characteristic of the interaction between the analyte carried by the microparticle and the delivered processing reagent. The plurality of analytes are simultaneously analyzed by collecting and recording images of the optical signals generated by all the microparticles in the planar array. A key feature of the invention is the correlation of the sequence of optical signals generated by each microparticle in the planar array during the analytical process.

    摘要: Disclosed are methods for identifying nucleic acid sequences which are of different abundances in different nucleic acid source populations, e.g. differentially expressed genes or genomic variations among individuals or populations of individuals. In one embodiment, probes derived from the source nucleic acid populations are derivatized with a terminal sample ID (SID) sequence characteristic of that population. Upon competitive hybridization of the probes to a reference or index nucleic acid library containing all the sequences in the populations being compared, the SID tags remain single stranded, and those from the different sources are then annealed to one another. Unhybridized (remainder) SID sequences are then quantified. By labeling such remainder SID sequences with a fluorescent dye, FACS sorting of beads containing the hybridized probes can be carried out. The signal ratio upon which such sorting is based is enhanced compared to competitive hybridization using labeled probes without SID sequences.

    摘要: The invention provides a method for constructing a high resolution physical map of a polynucleotide. In accordance with the invention, nucleotide sequences are determined at the ends of restriction fragments produced by a plurality of digestions with a plurality of combinations of restriction endonucleases so that a pair of nucleotide sequences is obtained for each restriction fragment. A physical map of the polynucleotide is constructed by ordering the pairs of sequences by matching the identical sequences among the pairs.

    摘要: The invention provides methods and materials for generating a reference library of restriction fragments from pooled nucleic acids that contain a sequence polymorphism. Preferably, such a library is formed by digesting genomic DNA from a pool of individuals with a first and a second restriction endonuclease to form a population of restriction fragments; isolating restriction fragments of the population digested by both the first and second restriction endonucleases and forming a first single stranded fragment population therefrom; separately isolating restriction fragments from the population digested by the first restriction endonuclease but not the second restriction endonuclease and forming a second single stranded fragment population therefrom; hybridizing the first and second single stranded fragment populations to form a population of duplexes; and isolating the population of duplexes to form a reference library of restriction fragments that contain sequence polymorphism. An important aspect of the invention is the use of the reference population of restriction fragments to compare the frequencies of polymorphic sequences between different population pools. Such comparisons may be accomplished by competively hybridizing DNA from the respective pools which has been enriched for the presence of a restriction site polymorphism with DNA from the reference population. Preferably, such competitive hybridization reactions are carried out the reference library attached to one or more solid phase supports. Most preferably, members of the reference library are attached to individual microparticles so that each microparticle has a unique fragment attached. After competitive hybridization, the microparticles may be analyzed and sorted for identifying those microparticles carrying sequences for which the pools being compared exhibit different polymorphic frequencies.
