Abstract
The invention provides a method of measuring the level of two or more nucleic acid molecules in a target by contacting a probe with a target comprising two or more nucleic acid molecules, wherein the nucleic acid molecules are arbitrarily sampled and wherein the arbitrarily sampled nucleic acid molecules comprise a subset of the nucleic acid molecules in a population of nucleic acid molecules; and detecting the amount of specific binding of the target to the probe. The invention also provides a method of measuring the level of two or more nucleic acid molecules in a target by contacting a probe with a target comprising two or more nucleic acid molecules, wherein the nucleic acid molecules are statistically sampled and wherein the statistically sampled nucleic acid molecules comprise a subset of the nucleic acid molecules in a population of nucleic acid molecules; and detecting the amount of specific binding of the target to the probe.
