Abstract:
1. A method of identifying a polynucleotide selected from a mixture of tagged polynucleotides, the method comprising the steps of: selecting one or more tagged polynucleotides having a particular nucleic acid sequence at one or more loci from a mixture of tagged polynucleotides, said mixture comprising polynucleotides from a plurality of different polynucleotide samples wherein the polynucleotides in each of said different polynucleotide samples are tagged with an oligonucleotide tag unique to the sample and comprising one or more words; and determining the nucleotide sequence of: a) at least part of a selected polynucleotide and b) at least one word of the unique oligonucleotide tag on said selected polynucleotide to identify from which of said plurality of different polynucleotide samples said selected polynucleotide is derived.
