Abstract
This invention provides novel compositions and processes for analyte detection, quantification and amplification. Nucleic acid arrays and libraries of analytes are usefully incorporated into such compositions and processes. Universal detection elements, signaling entities and the like are employed to detect and if necessary or desirable, to quantify analytes. Amplification of target analytes are also provided by the compositions and processes of this invention.
Claims22
A composition of matter comprising:
- a library of nucleic acid copies of different nucleic acid analytes,
- said copies having been copied from different nucleic acid analytes comprising genomic DNA, episomal DNA, mRNA or a combination of any of the forgoing isolated or derived from a eukaryotic cell, and
- said copies comprising an inherent universal detection target (UDT) derived from the different nucleic acid analytes that have been copied;
- an array comprising different nucleic acids located at different locations of the array,
- said nucleic acids being fixed or immobilized to a solid support, and
- nucleic acid copies of the library which have complementarity to a nucleic acid of a location of the array being hybridized to the nucleic acid of the array at said location;
- and
- a universal detection element (UDE) bound to said UDT of nucleic acid copies hybridized to nucleic acids of said array,
- wherein said UDT comprises a secondary structure,
- wherein the binding of the UDE to the UDT is mediated by said secondary structure of the UDT, and
- wherein said UDE generates a signal directly or indirectly to detect the presence or quantity of said analyte copies.
