Abstract: The invention relates to the identification of biologically-active DNA-binding sites to which a protein of interest binds in a cell. The invention also relates to the identification of agents and conditions which alter the biologically-active DNA-binding sites to which a protein binds. One aspect of the invention also provides methods for identifying pathways that are regulated by transcriptional regulators and for modulating the activity of the pathways.

Abstract: Methods and articles for analyzing nucleotide sequences of nucleic acid molecules, e.g., using multiple probes per spot of an array, are described. In some embodiments, the methods and articles can reduce the numbers of arrays necessary to probe regions of interest in a biological sample, and/or increase the resolution at which biological events are probed. In some cases, these methods exploit the vertical aspect of an array in order to decrease the number of arrays or spots required for an assay. These probes may be in the form of compound probes, which comprise at least first and second probes, including first and second nucleotide sequences capable of hybridizing to first and second target nucleotide sequences, respectively, in a nucleic acid molecule of interest.
