Abstract
The present invention provides a method of creating an array of features. The method can include steps of (a) providing a plurality of beads, wherein each bead in the plurality of beads includes probe content; (b) contacting the plurality of beads with a surface to produce a layer of beads on the surface; and (c) transferring the probe content from the beads to the surface to create an array of spatially discrete features on the surface, wherein each spatially discrete feature includes probe content from a bead in the plurality of beads.
