    摘要: An apparatus is provided for automatically constructing a polypeptide of high purity, up to 50 amino acids in length, using only single couplings. The apparatus includes an activation system for receiving protected amino acids, one kind at a time, having a common vessel (an activator vessel) in which to activate each of the amino acids. Also included is a reaction vessel for containing a resin used in solid-phase peptide synthesis for attaching a peptide chain thereto. A transfer system is also provided, which operates under control of a computer, to transfer the activated species from the activation system to the reaction vessel and to transfer amino acids, reagents, gases, and solvents from one part of the apparatus to another. The activator system also includes a temperature controlled concentrator vessel in which an activator solvent is replaced by a coupling solvent to enhance the coupling of the activated species to the peptide chain in the reaction vessel. Also included in the synthesizer system is a vortexer for affecting total washing of materials in the reaction vessel and the reaction vessel itself, an automated peptide resin sampling system, and an autodelivery system for providing individual containers of amino acid to the synthesizer in the order desired in the peptide sequence. A liquid sensor system is also included to monitor transitions between gases and liquids in specific tubes in the synthesizer in order to provide input signals to the computer system for control purposes. The computer system software which controls the operation of the synthesizer is organized according to a series of menus which allows the user of the system to select individual cycles of operation for each vessel in the synthesizer. In addition, an algorithm has been developed which provides for optimum efficiency in the production of a peptide for any given selection of cycles.

    摘要: The present invention relate to methods and compositions for simultaneously analyzing multiple different polynucleotides of a polynucleotide composition comprising multiple diverse polynucleotide sequences. The subject methods and compositions may also be applied to analyze or identify single polynucleotides; however, the subject methods and compositions are particularly useful for analyzing large diverse populations of polynucleotides, e.g., cDNA libraries. Most embodiments of the invention involve hybridizing terminus probes (of known base sequence) to adapter-modified restriction fragment generated from polynucleotide for analysis, and subsequently joining the terminus probes and internal fragment probes to each other. The terminus probe hybridizes to bases of restriction endonuclease recognition site present at the terminus of a restriction fragment generated from the polynucleotide for analysis. The terminus probes and internal fragment probes may be marked so as to facilitate the simultaneous testing of multiple polynucleotides for the presence of many possible nucleotide base sequences. The identity or expression of a particular polynucleotide of interest may be ascertained (or at least partially determined) by producing a short identifier sequence derived from the nucleotide base sequence information obtained from (1) the hybridization of a terminus probe, and (2) the recognition site of a restriction endonuclease used to generate the polynucleotide molecule of interest. Multiple identification sequences may be obtained in parallel, thereby permitting the rapid characterization of a large number of diverse polynucleotides. Parallel processing may be achieved by differentially marking terminus probes or internal fragment probes. Parallel processing may be achieved by using ordered arrays of oligonucleotides that are terminus probes.

The subject methods and compositions may also be applied to analyze or identify single polynucleotides; however, the subject methods and compositions are particularly useful for analyzing large diverse populations of polynucleotides, e.g., cDNA libraries. Most embodiments of the invention involve hybridizing terminus probes (of known base sequence) and internal fragment probes (of known base sequence) at adjacent positions on an adapter-modified restriction fragment generated from polynucleotide for analysis, and subsequently joining the terminus probes and internal fragment probes to each other. The terminus probe hybridizes to bases of restriction endonuclease recognition site present at the terminus of a restriction fragment generated from the polynucleotide for analysis. Internal fragment probes hybridizes to the same strand of the restriction fragment that the terminus probe hybridizes to and hybridizes to the restriction fragment portion of adapter-modified representative restriction fragments. The terminus probes and internal fragment probes may be marked so as to facilitate the simultaneous testing of multiple polynucleotides for the presence of many possible nucleotide base sequences. The identity or expression of a particular polynucleotide of interest may be ascertained (or at least partially determined) by producing a short identifier sequence derived from the nucleotide base sequence information obtained from (1) the hybridization of a terminus probe and an internal fragment probe, each of known base sequence, at adjacent positions on a polynucleotide of interest, and (2) the recognition site of a restriction endonuclease used to generate the polynucleotide molecule of interest.

    摘要: A real-time, automated, nucleic acid sequencing apparatus that offers high speed, definitive sequencing on many samples at the same time. The apparatus permits more than one clone to be sequenced at a time, thus vastly decreasing the time required to sequence longer fragments and reducing sequencing costs accordingly. The apparatus detects electromagnetic radiation from a plurality of lanes in an electrophoresis system wherein the plurality of lanes are arranged in a planar array. The apparatus includes an optical system for detecting the radiation at a plurality of wavelengths and is made up of a collection element, a filter for selectively transmitting the plurality of wavelengths received from the collection element, and a detection system for measuring intensity of the radiation received from the filter means. A translational stage is used for mounting the optical system and for moving the optical system parallel to the planar array in order to move the collection element back and forth across the lanes in order to receive radiation from the lanes, one lane at a time during electrophoresis. Also included is a computer system for controlling the filter and the stage, and for receiving intensity data from the detector and correlating that data with the corresponding lane and corresponding wavelengths transmitted by the filter in substantially real time.
