Abstract
This invention provides compositions and methods for genetic testing of an organism and for correlating the results of the genetic testing with a unique marker that unambiguously identifies the organism. The markers may be internal markers, such as for example single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), short tandem repeats (STRs), or other sites within a genomic locus. Alternatively, the markers may be external, such that they are separately added to the genetic sample before testing.

1-39. (canceled)
A chip for analyzing reactive antibodies in a patient blood or serum sample and for identifying said patient providing the sample, said chip comprising:
- a set of oligonucleotides wherein members of the set have different sequences and said members are attached to beads which are associated with an optically distinguishable characteristic that identifies the sequences of the oligonucleotides attached thereto, the set of oligonucleotides for identifying a number of marker sequences in the patient genomic sample, said marker sequences each including at least one polymorphic marker, the identification of said marker sequences providing for identification of said patient;
- and
- blood-group antigens, A, B, and Rh, each attached to differently encoded beads which are associated with an optically distinguishable characteristic that identifies the antigen attached thereto.
