In situ nucleic acid array synthesis

摘要

Methods and devices for producing nucleic acid arrays using in situ nucleic acid array synthesis protocols are provided. A feature of certain embodiments of the invention is that control probes are produced in collections of features, e.g., columns, of the arrays that have been selected according to a particular efficient control probe feature/column selection protocol. A feature of certain other embodiments of the invention is that an "all-bases-all-layers" probe set is produced in at least one of column of the arrays. Also provided are devices configured for use in the subject methods, as well as arrays produced using the subject methods and devices as well as methods for using such arrays. <IMAGE>
