Patent ID: 8114978

Claim:
A kit comprising at least 100 different species of capture probes for genotyping a plurality of polymorphic positions each present on a different target sequence: wherein each target sequence comprises a common sequence that is within 1000 base pairs of the polymorphic position; wherein each target sequence comprises a consensus sequence immediately adjacent to the common sequence wherein the consensus sequence comprises at least one base that is identical in all the target sequences and at least one base that is variable between target sequences; wherein each capture probe comprises a first universal priming sequence and a target specific sequence that comprises a region that is complementary to the consensus sequence from one target sequence and a region that is complementary to the common sequence, wherein the capture probes are optionally pooled into 1 to 5 containers each containing a plurality of different species of capture probes; and wherein the kit further comprises an array of allele specific probes, the array comprising at least one allele specific probe for each allele of each polymorphic position in said plurality of polymorphic positions.
