    摘要: The invention provides a method of selecting a representational sample of nucleic acid sequences from a complex mixture. The method includes: (a) contacting a complex mixture of nucleic acids under conditions sufficient for hybridization with a population of capture probes complementary to one or more nucleic acids comprising a predetermined portion of the sequence collectively present in the complex mixture to form hybridization complexes of the one or more nucleic acids with the population of probes, the population of capture probes being attached to a solid support, and (b) removing unhybridized nucleic acids to select a representational sample of nucleic acids having a complexity of less than 10% but more than 0.001% of the complex mixture, wherein the representational sample comprises a nucleic acid copy having a proportion of each sequence in the copy relative to all other sequences in the copy substantially the same as the proportions of the sequences in the predetermined portion of one or more nucleic acids within the complex mixture. A method of selecting a representational sample of genomic sequences from a complete genome also is provided. The invention further provides a nucleic acid population that includes a representational sample having a complexity of less than 10% but more than 0.001% of a complex mixture, the representational sample comprising a nucleic acid copy having a proportion of each sequence in the copy relative to all other sequences in the copy substantially the same as the proportions of sequences in a predetermined portion of a sequence collectively present in one or more nucleic acids within the complex mixture.

    摘要: A holder for an array of bundles containing multiple fiber optic strands provides a pattern of openings into which one each of each bundle is fit. The openings may (but need not) penetrate the full holder thickness to permit working with bundles from either bundle end. In one embodiment the holder thickness equals the bundle length, and the holder is sized similarly to a microscope slide. An alternative embodiment temporarily retains bundles in a desired registration and subjects the retained bundles to molten material such as wax that is allowed to harden around the bundles and become the holder. A modular holder comprises laminates that each contain parallel grooves sized to receive a bundle. A holder for a single bundle includes cooperating grip-like members, one of which is pivotably attached and biased toward the other member. A common form factor may be used for each holder type to facilitate retaining holders in a common docking station.
