Abstract: The invention provides novel compositions and methods for the analysis of gene expression (e.g., expression profiling) using microarray-based technology. In some embodiments of the invention, the novel methods use gene-specific as well as universal amplification primers during sample preparation, and the methods permit the simultaneous analysis of multiple samples on the same microarray. Furthermore, some embodiments of the invention incorporate barcode sequences into the amplified products, thereby permitting the use of generic arrays and generic labeled probes.

Abstract: The invention provides methods for screening compound or chemical libraries by analyzing expressed RNA samples from biological samples treated with members of a compound library in a high throughput format.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for evaluating a vaccine, combinations of tests and reaction mixtures that can be used as part of such methods, and collections of results comprising results obtained from such methods. The methods, combinations, and collections are useful for determining whether a vaccine is effective and, for example, for comparing the efficacy of different vaccines.

Abstract: The invention relates to compositions and methods for the analysis of biomolecules associated with cells, where the presence or absence of a particular biomolecule (e.g., an expressed protein or a nucleic acid gene expression product) associated with the cells is examined. The invention provides methods for single cell biochemical analysis, as well as instrumentation for the single-cell biochemical analysis. Most advantageously, the invention affords methods and instrumentation for high-throughput biochemical analysis of large numbers of single cells.

Abstract: The invention relates to compositions and methods for gene expression analysis. In some embodiments, the invention provides compositions and methods for amplifying targets in a degraded nucleic acid sample. In some embodiments, the invention provides methods for determining the quality of nucleic acids (e.g., the degree of degradation) in a nucleic acid sample. The invention also provides methods for producing a gene expression profile from a degraded RNA sample.

Abstract: A system is for analyzing expression levels and activity of a plurality of proteins is provided. A bio-displayed polypeptide binding component associated with a predetermined marker is used to bind the proteins of interest. The predetermined marker components are then amplified and detected in a high throughput manner.

Abstract: The present invention provides modified oligonucleotide primers designed to incorporate a cleavable moiety so that a 3? portion of the primer (linked to an extension product) can be released from an upstream 5? portion of the primer. Upon selective cleavage of the cleavable site, primer extension products that contain about five or fewer base pairs of the primer sequence are released, to provide more useful sizing and sequence information per fragment than extension products containing the entire primer.
