1. A method for generating an array of oligonucleotides of chosen lengths within discrete cells of a support material comprising the steps ofa) segregating a support material into discrete cell locations;

  • b) coupling a nucleotide precursor to a first set of cell locations;

    c) coupling a nucleotide precursor to a second set of cell locations;

    d) coupling a nucleotide precursor to a third set of cell locations;

    e) and continuing the sequence of coupling steps until the desired array has been generated,the coupling being effected at each location either to the surface of the support or to a nucleotide coupled in a previous step at the location.
