METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IDENTIFYING BIOLOGICAL ENTITIES IN BIOLOGICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAMPLES

摘要

The present invention pertains to the identification of unique genomic sequences and unique oligonucleotide sequences that can be utilized to identify biological entities in biological or environmental samples. The present invention includes the use of these unique genomic sequences to generate probes, targets or primers, for the purpose of identifying known, unknown and genetically engineered entities in samples. The present invention provides unique genomic sequences, inferred unique genomic sequences and unique oligonucleotide sequences that identify biological entities. The present invention permits detection and identification of a plurality of biological entities from a single sample, and enables identification of closely related strains and genetically engineered biological entities.
