Abstract: A genotyping method and a prepared oligomicroarray as device is to determine single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and mutations are provided. The method uses two specific APEX-2 primers per each SNP or mutations to be determined. The same primers are used in amplification phase (primer extension and PCR with universal primer) and in the single base extension phase on an array. All SNP-containing sequences can be genotyped and amplified in one reaction tube and visualized on a microarray.

Abstract: A method of analyzing a polynucleotide of interest, comprising providing one or more sets of consecutive oligonucleotide primers differing within each set by one base at the growing end therof; annealing a single strand of the polynucleotide or a fragment of the polynucleotide to the oligonucleotide primers under hybridization conditions; subjecting the primers to single base extension reactions with a polymerase and terminating nucleotides, the terminating nucleotides being mutually distinguishable; and observing the location and identity of each terminating nucleotide to thereby analyze the sequence or a part of the nucleotide sequence of the polynucleotide of interest, is disclosed. An apparatus comprising a solid support to which is attached at defined locations thereon one or more sets of consecutive oligonucleotide primers differing within each set by one base at the growing end thereof is also described.
