摘要 |
The invention relates to a method for identifying nucleic acids which is characterized by the following steps: (a) providing at least one DNA fragment with one overhang having a known length and an unknown sequence, (b) attaching a determined encoder from a mixture of encoders that also has an overhang to the DNA fragment's overhang having an unknown sequence, the overhang of the attached encoder and the DNA fragment's overhang having an unknown sequence being completely complementary to each other, (c) optionally removing those encoders that were not attached to a DNA fragment in step (b), (d) labeling the attached product from step (b) unless already labeled encoders were used for attachment, (e) hybridizing the labeled attached product to an array of oligonucleotides which are substantially complementary to one of the strands of any encoder from the mixture of encoders or from a selection thereof.
