Abstract

A method for determining the genotype of one or more individuals at a polymorphic locus employs amplification of a region of DNA using primers containing tags and hybridization of the products to one or more probes on a solid support. The genotype or ratio of alleles is identified from the pattern of hybridization. The method can also be used to determine the frequency of different alleles in a population.
