Abstract: Compositions, methods and kits are disclosed for high-sensitivity single molecule digital counting by the stochastic labeling of a collection of identical molecules by attachment of a diverse set of labels. Each copy of a molecule randomly chooses from a non-depleting reservoir of diverse labels. Detection may be by a variety of methods including hybridization based or sequencing. Molecules that would otherwise be identical in information content can be labeled to create a separately detectable product that is unique or approximately unique in a collection. This stochastic transformation relaxes the problem of counting molecules from one of locating and identifying identical molecules to a series of binary digital questions detecting whether preprogrammed labels are present. The methods may be used, for example, to estimate the number of separate molecules of a given type or types within a sample.

Abstract: Methods are provided for multiplexed amplification of selected targets and analysis of the amplified targets. In preferred aspects the amplification and analysis take place on the same solid support and preferably in a localized area such as a bead or a feature of an array. Targets are circularized by hybridization to probes followed by ligation of the ends of the target to form a closed circle. The targets are then used as template for extension of an array bound probe resulting in extended probes having multiple copies of the target. The extended probes can then be analyzed. The methods may be used for genotyping, sequencing and analysis of copy number.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for analysis of nucleic acids are disclosed. Targets are hybridized to arrays having features that include pairs of co-localized probes within features. The probe pairs may include a first probe type that is oriented so that the 5? end is free and the 3? end is attached to the support and a second probe type that is oriented so that the 3? end is free for extension and the 5? end is attached to the support. The probes of a feature are complementary to different regions of the same target sequence so they can simultaneously hybridize to a single target with a gap or nick between. The gap may be filled by extension and ligation or ligation.

Abstract: Compositions, methods and kits are disclosed for high-sensitivity counting of individual molecules by stochastic labeling of a identical molecules in mixtures of molecules by attachment of a unique label-tags from a diverse pool of label tags to confer uniqueness to otherwise identical or indistinguishable events. Individual occurrences of target molecules randomly choose from a non-depleting reservoir of diverse label-tags. Labeled molecules may be detected by hybridization or sequencing based methods. Molecules that would otherwise be identical in information content are labeled to create a separately detectable product that can be distinctly detected. The disclosed stochastic transformation methods reduce the problem of counting molecules from one of locating and identifying identical molecules to a series of binary digital questions detecting whether preprogrammed label-tags are present. The methods may be used, for example, to count a given species of molecule within a sample.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods for enzymatic genotyping of polymorphisms on solid supports. In one aspect the method includes hydrolysis of a nucleotide comprising a label on an array-bound probe by a 5? to 3? exonuclease activity specific for single-stranded DNA. If there is target-probe sequence mismatch at the polymorphic position (the labeled nucleotide in the probe), the labeled nucleotide is hydrolyzed from the probe by the exonuclease. The presence of a detectable signal on the array is indicative of the identity of the nucleotide at the polymorphic position in the target. In another aspect, the queried position on the probe may be a labeled ribonucleotide, and if there is a sequence mismatch at the polymorphic position on the probe, the labeled ribonucleotide will be hydrolyzed from the nucleic acid by the activity of an exoribonuclease enzyme specific for single-stranded sequences.

Abstract: Methods for detecting genomic rearrangements are provided. In one embodiment, methods are provided for the use of paired end tags from restriction fragments to detect genomic rearrangements. Sequences from the ends of the fragments are brought together to form ditags and the ditags are detected. Combinations of ditags are detected by an on-chip sequencing strategy that is described herein, using inosine for de novo sequencing of short segments of DNA. In another aspect, translocations are identified by using target specific capture and analysis of the captured products on a tiling array.

Abstract: Methods are provided for multiplexed amplification of selected targets and analysis of the amplified targets. In preferred aspects the amplification and analysis take place on the same solid support and preferably in a localized area such as a bead or a feature of an array. In preferred aspects the analysis is a determination of sequence at one or more locations in the amplified target. The methods may be used for genotyping, sequencing and analysis of copy number.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods for enzymatic, genotyping of polymorphisms on solid supports. In some aspects the methods include ligation of allele or base specific interrogation probes to an array probe. The array probe is labeled by ligation of the interrogation probe. Ligation is dependent on the identity of the base immediately adjacent to the end of the array probe. In other aspects array bound probes are labeled by template dependent extension.

Abstract: Methods are provide for preparing cDNA corresponding to a mRNA. In the subject methods, a mRNA is first contacted with a mixture of primers under first strand cDNA synthesis conditions. The primer mixture contains primers that have at least 10 contiguous deoxythymidines, a double stranded restriction enzyme recognition sequence near one end and a non-polyA-complementary region near the other end, where the non-polyA-complementary region is -VV, -VTV, -VTTV, -VTTTV, and -VVVVV. The resultant cDNA is modified such that the polyT tail is substantially removed. The modified cDNA is then ligated into a vector. The subject methods find use in a variety of applications, and find particular use in the sequencing of DNA and in the synthesis of cDNA libraries.
