    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for the analysis and determination of the nature of repeat units in a genetic target. In one method of this invention, the nature of the repeat units in the genetic target is determined by the steps of providing a plurality of hybridization complex assays arrayed on a plurality of test sites, where the hybridization complex assay includes at least a nucleic acid target containing a simple repetitive DNA sequence, a capture probe having a first unique flanking sequence and n repeat units, where n=0,1,2 . . . , or fractions thereof, being complementary to the target sequence, and a reporter probe having a selected sequence complementary to the same target sequence strand wherein the selected sequence of the reporter includes a second unique flanking sequence and m repeat units, where m=0,1,2 . . . , or fractions thereof, but where the sum of repeat units in the capture probe plus reporter probe is greater than 0 (n+m>0). Concordance and discordance among the hybridization complex assays at the test sites is determined at least in part by hybridization stability. Electronic stringency control may be utilized. Applications include paternity testing, forensic use, and disease diagnostics, such as for the identification of the existence of a clonal tumor.
