Abstract
A method for producing a high-density, position-addressable gene array is disclosed. The method includes contacting an array of different-sequence oligonucleotides having a unique, known combinatorial sequence associated with each position in the array with a set of extended gene probe templates which are complementary to the oligonucleotides at one of the template end regions. After hybridization, the oligonucleotides in the array are extended by strand-directed polymerization to form the probe array. Also disclosed is a probe array device formed by the method.
