Using oligonucleotide probe arrays to access genetic diversity
Abstract
As the Human Genome Project and related efforts identify and determine the DNA sequences of human genes, it is important that highly reliable and efficient mechanisms are found to access individual genetic variation. It is only through a greater understanding of genetic diversity that the true benefit of the Human Genome Project will be realized. One approach, hybridization to high-density arrays of oligonucleotides, is a fast and effective means of accessing this genetic variation. Light-directed chemical synthesis has been used to generate miniaturized, high-density arrays of oligonucleotide probes. Application-specific oligonucleotide probe array designs have been developed for the rapid screening of characterized genes. Dedicated instrumentation and software have been developed for array hybridization, fluorescence detection and data acquisition and analysis. In a specific and challenging application, oligonucleotide probe arrays have been used to screen the reverse transcriptase and protease genes of the highly polymorphic HIV-1 genome to explore genetic diversity and detect mutations conferring resistance to antiviral drugs. Results from this application strongly suggest that oligonucleotide probe arrays will be a powerful tool for rapid investigations in sequence checking, pathogen detection, expression monitoring and DNA molecular recognition.
