Abstract

A method of analysing a polynucleotide target involves incubating the target with an oligonucleotide probe, generally an array of immobilized oligonucleotide probes, to form a duplex, and using ligase or polymerase to extend one chain of the duplex. A point mutation or variable number tandem repeat section may be analyzed. Arrays of immobilized oligonucleotides are provided for use in the method.
