Principle of allele-specific primer elongation on microarrays. Single-stranded DNA targets serve as templates in a Taq polymerase-catalyzed elongation reaction of immobilized oligonucleotide primers. The match and mismatch primers differ at their free 3′-end by a variable base, which is discriminated by the enzyme. Elongation and thereby incorporation of Cy3-dUTP takes place in a template-dependent manner.
