Abstract

See full text

This invention includes methods for identifying nucleic acids in a sample of nucleic acids by observing sequence sets present in the nucleic acids of the sample and then identifying those sequences in a nucleic acid sequence database having the sequence sets observed. In a preferred embodiment, a sequence set consists of two primary subsequences and an additional subsequence having determined mutual relationships. The methods include those for observing the sequence sets and those for performing sequence database searches. This invention also includes devices for recognizing in parallel the additional subsequences in a sample of as well as methods for the use of these devices. In a preferred embodiment, the devices include probes bound to a planar surface that recognize additional subsequence by hybridization, and the methods of use include features to improve the specificity and reproducibility of this hybridization.
