ALLELE DETECTION USING PRIMER EXTENSION WITH SEQUENCE-CODED IDENTITY TAGS

摘要

A method for determining the genotype of one or more individuals at a polymorphic locus employs amplification of a region of DNA, labeling of allele-specific extension primers containing tags, and hybridization of the products to an array of probes. The genotype is identified from the pattern of hybridization. The method can also be used to determine the frequency of different alleles in a population.
