    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for simultaneously detecting mutations in different nucleotide sequences and for determining the transcription rate of mutated and non-mutated nucleotide sequences. The inventive method comprises the following steps: hybridizing single-stranded sample nucleotide sequences to single-stranded reference nucleotide sequences, fixating, before or during hybridization, single-stranded reference nucleotide sequences or single-stranded sample nucleotide sequences, or fixating, after or during hybridization, heteroduplices from reference and sample nucleotide sequences on an electronically addressable surface, incubating them with a substrate that recognizes heteroduplex mismatches, and detecting the substrate bonds.
