Abstract

A method for detecting nucleic acids by (a) providing a sample having target nucleic acids, each nucleic acid having contiguous first, second, and third domains; (b) contacting the sample with probe sets to form hybridization complexes, wherein each probe set includes (i) a first probe having a sequence that is complementary to the first domain; and (ii) a second probe having a sequence substantially complementary to the third domain; (c) extending the first probes along the second domains of the complexes while the complexes are immobilized on a solid support; (d) ligating the extended first probes to the second probes to form templates; (e) amplifying the templates with primers that are complementary to the first and second priming sequences to produce amplicons; and (f) detecting the amplicons on the surface of a nucleic acid array.

Claims

1. A method for detecting target DNA sequences of different target DNA molecules in a sample, each of the target DNA sequences comprising, from 3′

to 5′

;

contiguous first target domain, second target domain, and third target domain, comprising;

(a) providing a sample having the different target DNA molecules;

(b) contacting the sample with at least 100 different probe sets, thereby forming hybridization complexes with the different target DNA molecules, wherein each of the probe sets comprises;

(i) a first probe comprising, from 5′

to 3′

;

a first universal priming sequence and a sequence that is substantially complementary to the first target domain;

(ii) an intervening probe comprising a sequence that is complementary to the second target domain; and

(iii) a second probe comprising 5′

to 3′

;

a sequence substantially complementary to the third target domain, and a second universal priming sequence,

wherein the first universal priming sequence in each of the different probe sets is the same and wherein the second universal priming sequence in each of the different probe sets is the same;

(c) capturing the hybridization complexes on a first solid support;

(d) washing the first solid support to remove probes of the different probe sets that are not hybridized in the hybridization complexes;

(e) forming extended first probes and extended intervening probes by contacting the hybridization complexes on first solid support with an extension enzyme and nucleotides;

(f) forming amplification templates by ligating the extended first probes to the extended intervening probes, and ligating the extended intervening probes to the second probes;

(g) amplifying the amplification templates with first and second universal primers that are complementary to the first universal priming sequence and the second universal priming sequence, thereby producing amplicons; and

(h) capturing the amplicons on a second solid support that is different from the first solid support and detecting the amplicons on the surface of the second solid support, thereby detecting the target DNA sequences.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least 100 different probe sets comprises at least 100,000 different probe sets.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the first solid support comprises a plurality of beads.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the first binding partner is streptavidin.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the hybridization complexes are immobilized on the first solid support when they contact with the extension enzyme and the nucleotides.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the detecting step comprises sequencing the amplicons on the surface of the second solid support.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein said sequencing the amplicons comprises a pyrosequencing reaction.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the first probe in each of the probe sets contains a distinct adapter sequence that is not present in the target DNA molecules.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the second probe in each of the probe sets contains a distinct adapter sequence that is not present in the target DNA molecules.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the different DNA molecules comprise genomic DNA.

12. The method of claim 1, wherein the sample is a human sample.

13. The method of claim 1, wherein at least one probe in each of the different probe sets contains a distinct adapter sequence that is not present in the target DNA molecules.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein each of the amplicons comprises the distinct adapter sequence of the at least one probe in each of the different probe sets.

15. The method of claim 14, wherein the distinct adapter sequence of each of the amplicons is hybridized to a capture probe on the surface of the second solid support.

16. The method of claim 13, wherein the distinct adapter sequence of each of the amplicons is detected on the surface of the second solid support.

17. The method of claim 1, wherein said providing a sample having different target DNA molecules comprises cutting or shearing DNA comprising said target DNA sequences.

18. A method for detecting different target nucleic acids in a plurality of samples, comprising detecting the different target nucleic acids in the plurality of samples using the method of claim 1.

19. The method of claim 18, wherein the different target nucleic acids in the plurality of different samples are detected simultaneously.
