Abstract:
A method of analysing a target nucleic acid by the use of a mixture of labelled oligonucleotides in solution and an array of immobilised oligonucleotides, which method comprises the steps of:a) incubating under hybridisation conditions the target nucleic acid with the mixture of labelled oligonucleotides, b) dissociating and recovering said labelled oligonucleotides that hybridised in a) with the target nucleic acid. c) incubating under hybridisation conditions the recovered labelled oligonucleotides from b) with the array of immobolised oligonucleotides, d) observing distribution of the labelled oligonucleotides on the array and using the information to analyse the target nucleic acid.
