Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 118 words
A method for detecting nucleic acid sequences in two or more collections of nucleic acid molecules, the method comprising: (a) providing an array of polynucleotides bound to a solid surface, each said polynucleotide comprising a determinable nucleic acid; (b) contacting the array of polynucleotides with: (i) a first collection of labelled nucleic acid comprising a sequence substantially complementary to a nucleic acid of said array, and (ii) at least a second collection of labelled nucleic acid comprising a sequence substantially complementary to a nucleic acid of said array; wherein the first and second labels are distinguishable from each other; and (c) detecting hybridization of the first and second labelled complementary nucleic acids to nucleic acids of said arrays.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 118 words
A method for detecting nucleic acid sequences in two or more collections of nucleic acid molecules, the method comprising: (a) providing an array of polynucleotides bound to a solid surface, each said polynucleotide comprising a determinable nucleic acid; (b) contacting the array of polynucleotides with: (i) a first collection of labelled nucleic acid comprising a sequence substantially complementary to a nucleic acid of said array, and (ii) at least a second collection of labelled nucleic acid comprising a sequence substantially complementary to a nucleic acid of said array; wherein the first and second labels are distinguishable from each other; and (c) detecting hybridization of the first and second labelled complementary nucleic acids to nucleic acids of said arrays.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 14 words
The method of claim 1, wherein the solid support comprises an array of beads.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 14 words
The method of claim 1, wherein the first and second labels are fluorescent labels.
Claim 5
Independent Claim 135 words
A method of detecting differential expression of each of a plurality of genes in a first cell type with respect to expression of the same genes in a second cell type, said method comprising: adding a mixture of labeled nucleic acid from the two cell types to an array of polynucleotides representing a plurality of known genes derived from the two cell types, under conditions that result in hybridization to complementary-sequence polynucleotides in the array; and examining the array by fluorescence under fluorescence excitation conditions in which polynucleotides in the array that are hybridized to labeled nucleic acid derived from one of the cell types give a distinct fluorescence emission color and polynucleotides in the array that are hybridized to labeled nucleic acid derived from the other cell types give a different fluorescence emission color.
Claim 6
Independent Claim 135 words
A method of detecting differential expression of each of a plurality of genes in a first cell type with respect to expression of the same genes in a second cell type, said method comprising: adding a mixture of labeled nucleic acid from the two cell types to an array of polynucleotides representing a plurality of known genes derived from the two cell types, under conditions that result in hybridization to complementary-sequence polynucleotides in the array; and examining the array by fluorescence under fluorescence excitation conditions in which polynucleotides in the array that are hybridized to labeled nucleic acid derived from one of the cell types give a distinct fluorescence emission color and polynucleotides in the array that are hybridized to labeled nucleic acid derived from the other cell types give a different fluorescence emission color.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 51 words
The method of claim 4, wherein the array of polynucleotides is formed on a substrate with a surface having an array of at least 10 3 distinct polynucleotide in a surface area of about 1 cm 2 , each distinct polynucleotide being disposed at a separate, defined position in said array.
