Abstract
The invention provides an array of surface-bound, bimolecular, double-stranded, nucleic acid molecules, the array comprising a solid support, and a plurality of different double-stranded nucleic acid molecule members, a member comprising a first nucleic acid strand linked to the solid support and a second nucleic acid strand which is substantially complementary to the first strand and complexed to the first strand by Watson-Crick base pairing, wherein at least a portion of the members have a second nucleic acid strand is substantially complementary to and base paired with the first strand along the entire length of the first strand.
