Abstract
This invention provides novel compositions and processes for analyte detection, quantification and amplification. Nucleic acid arrays and libraries of analytes are usefully incorporated into such compositions and processes. Universal detection elements, signaling entities and the like are employed to detect and if necessary or desirable, to quantify analytes. Amplification of target analytes are also provided by the compositions and processes of this invention.

- 401. A composition of matter comprising a library of double-stranded nucleic acids substantially incapable of in vivo replication and free of non-inherent homopolymeric sequences, said nucleic acids comprising sequences complementary or identical in part or whole to inherent sequences of a library obtained from a sample, wherein said double-stranded nucleic acids comprise at least one inherent universal detection target (UDT) proximate to one end of said double strand and at least one non-inherent production center proximate to the other end of said double strand.
- 409. A composition of matter comprising a library of double-stranded nucleic acids substantially incapable of in vivo replication, said nucleic acids comprising sequences complementary or identical in part or whole to inherent sequences of a library obtained from a sample, wherein said double-stranded nucleic acids comprise at least four (4) non-inherent nucleotides proximate to one end of said double strand and a non-inherent production center proximate to the other end of said double strand.
- 418. A composition of matter comprising a library of double-stranded nucleic acids fixed to a solid support, said nucleic acids comprising sequences complementary or identical in part or whole to inherent sequences of a library obtained from a sample and said nucleic acids further comprising at least one first sequence segment of non-inherent nucleotides proximate to one end of said double strand and at least one second sequence segment proximate to the other end of said double strand, said second sequence segment comprising at least one production center.
- 428. A composition of matter comprising a library of double-stranded nucleic acids attached to a solid support, said nucleic acids comprising sequences complementary or identical in part or whole to inherent sequences of a library obtained from a sample, wherein said double-stranded nucleic acids comprise at least one inherent universal detection target (UDT) proximate to one end of said double strand and at least one non-inherent production center proximate to the other end of said double strand.
