Methods for analyzing nucleic acids
First Claim
1. A method for identifying an allelic status of a subject, the method comprising:
- obtaining a sample comprising a nucleic acid template from a subject;
tiling a plurality of molecular inversion probes across both alleles of a locus on the template, wherein immediately adjacent probes hybridize to opposite strands of the nucleic acid template and probes on the same strand hybridize to the template in an overlapping manner;
filling in a region between targeting arms of a plurality of the molecular inversion probes with nucleotides;
analyzing the filled-in region of a plurality of the probes to obtain sequence information about both alleles of the locus; and
identifying an allelic status based on the sequence information.

Abstract
The invention generally relates to methods for analyzing nucleic acids. In certain aspects, methods of the invention involve obtaining a sample including a nucleic acid template. A plurality of molecular inversion probes are tiled across a portion of the template. The probes are designed such that immediately adjacent probes hybridize to opposite strands of the nucleic acid template and probes on the same strand hybridize to the template in an overlapping manner. A region between targeting arms of a plurality of the molecular inversion probes is filled-in with nucleotides, and the filled-in region of a plurality of the probes is analyzed to obtain sequence information about the nucleic acid template.
