Patent ID: 7361468

Claim:
An array of oligonucleotides, the array consisting of: a plurality of different allele specific perfect match probes attached to a solid support, wherein each allele specific perfect match probe consists of 20 to 50 contiguous nucleotides from a different sequence listed in SEQ ID Nos. 1-116,211 and wherein the plurality of different allele specific perfect match probes consists of at least one probe consisting of between 20 and 50 contiguous nucleotides from each of SEQ ID NOs. 1-116,211; wherein each of the allele specific perfect match probes overlaps with nucleotide 26 of the sequence given in the respective SEQ ID NO, and each probe is perfectly complementary to one of the two possible alleles, and wherein each different allele specific perfect match probe is attached to a solid support in a known or determinable location of the array, wherein the two possible alleles are nucleotides allowed by the degenerate symbol at position 26 of the sequence given in the respective SEQ ID NO.
