Abstract:
The apparatus and method of the present invention disclose a system in which multiple injections may be made into a capillary array. The injections are spaced in time with each injection followed by an interval of electrophoresi s. Once all samples are loaded into the capillaries, continuous electrophoresis and detection is used to separate and detect target compounds within the sample. The interval between injections is matched to the target compound migration rate to be sufficient to allow the target compounds to be detectab ly separated when the compounds reach the detector.

Abstract:
A spatially addressable set of such probes is provided for measuring gene expression in a sample derived from human heart, the probes comprising any one of the nucleotide sequences set out in SEQ ID NOS: 1-5202 or 5203-10283 or a complementary sequence. The set may comprise 50-20,000 probes of average length 200-500 bp and may be addressably disposed upon a substrate. At least 50% of the probes lack prokaryotic and bacteriophage vector sequence and at least 50% lack homopolymeric stretches of A or T. Each of the probes may be amplifiable using at least one common primer. Also claimed are said nucleotide sequences and peptides encoded thereby.
Abstract:
Abstract Methods and apparatus for predicting, confirming and displaying functional regions from genomic sequence data are presented. The methods and apparatus are particularly useful for predicting coding regions within genomic sequence data, confirming the expression thereof experimentally, and relating and displaying the expression data in meaningful relationship to the genomic sequence. The methods and apparatus of the present invention thus present powerful tools for novel gene discovery.

Abstract:
Methods for preparing nanoscale reactions using nucleic acids are presented. Nucleic acids are captured saturably, yet reversibly, on the internal surfac e of the reaction chamber, typically a capillary. Excess nucleic acid is remov ed and the reaction is performed directly within the capillary. Alternatively, the saturably bound nucleic acid is eluted, dispensing a metered amount of nucleic acid for subsequent reaction in a separate chamber. Devices for effecting the methods of the invention and a system designed advantageously to utilize the methods for high throughput nucleic acid sequencing reactions ar e also provided.
Abstract:
The invention is directed to novel methods of making nucleosides modified wi th signalling moieties and polydentate ligands, particularly for use in chelati ng transition metal complexes to form signalling moieties such as electron transfer moieties and fluorophores.
