1. A method of typing one or more nucleic acid molecules, said method comprising:
- simultaneously hybridizing two or more extension primers to said nucleic acid molecule or molecules and performing primer extension reactions therefrom, each primer binding at a different predetermined site in said nucleic acid molecule or molecules, and determining the pattern of nucleotide incorporation by sequencing-by-synthesis to obtain a test pattern for said nucleic acid molecule or molecules which is optionally compared with one or more reference patterns to type the said nucleic acid molecule or molecules.
