Method and test kit for demonstrating genetic identity
First Claim
1. A method for demonstrating genetic identity, genetic diversity, genomic variations, polymorphisms, allelic variation or co-dominant scoring within a defined population pool, comprising the steps of:
- (a) allowing unlabeled, single-stranded, sample DNA representing total DNA of a sample to hybridize with one or more different sets of oligonucleotide sequences, each oligonucleotide sequence representing a full or an empty integration site of at least one mobile element (ME) and each oligonucleotide sequence further being attached to a defined identifiable location on a solid support;
(b) providing post-hybridization treatments in order to remove sample DNA not fully hybridized to the solid support attached oligonucleotide sequences; and
(c) providing a hybridization product with a recordable label, said label allowing hybridization pattern to be recorded and thereby the presence or absence of a full or an empty integration site of at least one mobile element (ME) to be scored.

Abstract
The present invention is related to a method and a test kit for demonstrating genetic identity, genetic diversity, genomic variations or polymorphisms, especially allelic variations, and also biodiversity within a defined population pool, with co-dominant scoring. The method and the test kit apply mobile elements (MEs) and are based on the use of one or more sets of optionally paired or parallel oligonucleotides, which are attached to a solid support. Each oligonucleotide sequence represents an insertion site junction of a mobile element (ME). The invention is also related to the use of the method and the test kit for phylogenetic studies, parenthood determinations, genotyping, haplotyping, pedigree analysis, forensic science, human medical diagnostics and in plant and animal breeding by demonstrating genetic identity, genetic diversity, genomic variation or polymorphism and particularly co-dominant scoring.

- 25. A test kit for demonstrating genetic identity, genetic diversity, genomic variations, polymorphisms, allelic variation or co-dominant scoring in a population pool, said test kit further comprising more than one set of single-stranded oligonucleotide sequences, each oligonucleotide sequence representing a junction in at least one full or one corresponding empty integration site, the oligonucleotide sequence representing junction in a full integration site further comprising a first and a second distinct sequence region, the first distinct sequence region being a flanking region of a mobile element (ME) and the second distinct sequence region being a terminal end of said mobile element (ME) and a oligonucleotide sequence representing the corresponding empty integration site further comprising two flanking regions surrounding said mobile element (ME).
