First Claim
1. A method of genotyping a plurality of polymorphic positions in an organism comprising:
- (a) identifying a plurality of target sequences each comprising one of said polymorphic positions, wherein each target sequence has the same common sequence within 1000 bases of the polymorphic position and wherein each target sequence has a degenerate priming site that is one species of a consensus sequence immediately adjacent to the common sequence, wherein the consensus sequence is 10-25 bases and at least 50% of the positions in the consensus sequence are the same in each target sequence and at least two of the bases in the consensus sequence vary between at least two of the target sequences, and wherein the common sequence and the consensus sequence are genomic sequences;
(b) obtaining a plurality of capture probes, comprising a first universal priming region, a region that is complementary to the common sequence and a degenerate region that is complementary to the consensus sequence, wherein said degenerate region comprises at least two degenerate positions that comprise a mixture of different nucleotides that vary between different capture probes in the plurality of capture probes;
(c) contacting a nucleic acid sample comprising genomic DNA from the organism with the plurality of capture probes;
(d) extending the capture probes through the polymorphic positions;
(e) amplifying the extended capture probes;
(f) hybridizing the amplified extended capture probes to an array of probes comprising allele specific probes for a plurality of the polymorphic positions; and
(g) analyzing the hybridization pattern to determine which alleles are present for at least two of the polymorphic positions.

Abstract
Methods for genotyping polymorphisms using a locus specific primer that is complementary to a region near a selected polymorphism are described. Methods for synthesizing pools of locus specific primers that incorporate some degenerate positions are also disclosed. A plurality of different sequence capture probes are synthesized simultaneously using degenerate oligonucleotide synthesis. The sequence of the locus specific regions of the capture probes are related in that they have some bases that are identical in each sequence in the plurality of sequences and positions that vary from one locus specific region to another. The sequences are selected based on proximity to a polymorphism of interest and because they conform to a similar sequence pattern.

12. A method for amplifying a collection of target sequences from a nucleic acid sample, wherein each target sequence comprises a polymorphic position, a common sequence of between 4 and 10 bases that is within 1000 bases of the polymorphic position and a consensus sequence immediately adjacent to the common sequence, wherein the consensus sequence is between 10 and 25 bases and comprises at least five degenerate positions, said method comprising:
