Filed:

Nov 30, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/727030

International Classification:

C12Q001/68

US Classification:

435/006000

Abstract:

A rapid assay for single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) detection that utilizes electronic circuitry on silicon microchips is disclosed. The method provides accurate discrimination of amplified DNA samples following electronic assisted transport, concentration, and attachment of DNA to selected electrodes (test sites). The test sites make up organized arrays of samples that are distinguished by using internal controls of dual labeled reporters comprising wild-type and mismatched sequences to validate the SNP genotype. This method has been used to discriminate the complex quadra-allelic SNP of mannose binding protein.

Abstract:

Provided herein are systems, compositions and methods for tracking, sorting and/or identifying sample polynucleotides using nucleic acid barcodes. The barcodes provided herein are oligonucleotides that are designed to be uniquely identifiable. The nucleic acid barcodes have properties that permit them to be sequenced with high accuracy and/or reduced error rates. In some embodiments, the nucleic acid barcodes are designed to have certain nucleotide sequences that make up overlapping dibase color positions (also called color positions). The order of the overlapping dibase color positions can be determined using fluorophore-encoded dibase probes in a fluorophore color calling scheme to give high fidelity reads.
