Abstract:
Disclosed herein are surface activated, organic polymers useful for biopolymer synthesis. Most preferably, aminated biaxially oriented polypropylene is used for the synthesis of oligonucleotides thereto, and these devices are most preferably utilized for genetic analysis of patient samples.
Abstract:
A sample having both positively and negatively charged components may be separated during the same run by injecting a plug of sample at both ends of the capillary and applying an electric field in the capillary, where there is insufficient electroosmotic flow in the capillary to reverse sample migration direction, such as in the case of a gel-filled column.
Abstract:
Inverse Linkage Oligonucleotides ("ILO") useful in enzymatic process are disclosed. Particularly preferred ILOs are amenable to enzymatic elongation from either, or most preferably, both termini. In a particularly preferred embodiment, each terminus of an ILO has an enzymatically functional 3' group. Accordingly, under appropriate conditions and in the presence of, e.g., dNTPs, enzyme, sample DNA, and ILO comprising a first region complementary to a first region of the sample DNA and a second region complementary to a second, different region of the sample DNA, exponential amplification of the sample DNA can be effectuated.

Abstract:
A solid support based hybridization assay is provided which allows for the systematic and reproducible analysis of repeat and tandem repeat oligonucleotide sequences of DNA and RNA by hybridization to a reverse dot blot array comprising strings of such repeats complementary to those found in particular nucleic acid targets (e.g., analyte PCR product). An addressable library (i.e., an indexed set) of complementary repeats is synthesized on a suitable support. Preferably, the support comprises a low fluorescent background support, thereby facilitating the use of non-radioisotopic modes of detection (such as fluorescence or chemiluminescence); particularly suitable in this regard is an aminated polypropylene support or similar material. Preferred arrays permit screening of DNA and RNA samples for complete sets of particular types of nucleotide repeat sequences (e.g., all nucleotide doublet or triplet repeats).

Disclosed herein, inter alia, are Inverse Linkage Oligonucleotides ("ILO") useful in enzymatic process. Particularly preferred ILOs are amenable to enzymatic elongation from either, or most preferably, both termini. In a particularly preferred embodiment, each terminus of an ILO has an enzymatically functional 3' group. Accordingly, under appropriate conditions and in the presence of, e.g., dNTPs, enzyme, sample DNA, and ILO comprising a first region complementary to a first region of the sample DNA and a second region complementary to a second, different region of the sample DNA, exponential amplification of the sample DNA can be effectuated.
