Figure 1. The generation of DNA templates from microarrays and parallel analysis.

Figure 1

A ssDNA microarray was incubated with a primer (16 h) followed by elongation using Taq polymerase (16 h) producing as dsDNA microarray. The newly synthesized DNA strands were used as templates for solution phase PCR carried out over the microarray leading to amplification of the ssDNA displayed on the microarray. The dsDNA was amplified by PCR to produce fluorescently labeled ssDNA analogous to the ssDNA printed on the microarray. The fluorescently labeled ssDNA was hybridized to a complementary microarray or submitted to Solexa sequencing to allow decoding of the amplified ssDNA. FAM = 5(6)-carboxyfluorescein.
