Abstract
Current techniques for making high-resolution, photolithographic DNA microarrays suffer from the limitation that the 3' end of each sequence is anchored to a hard substrate and hence is unavailable for many potential enzymatic reactions. Here, we demonstrate a technique that inverts the entire microarray into a hydrogel. This method preserves the spatial fidelity of the original pattern while simultaneously removing incorrectly synthesized oligomers that are inherent to all other microarray fabrication strategies. First, a standard 5'-up microarray on a donor wafer is synthesized, in which each oligo is anchored with a cleavable linker at the 3' end and an Acrydite phosphoramidite at the 5' end. Following the synthesis of the array, an acrylamide monomer solution is applied to the donor wafer, and an acrylamide-silanized acceptor wafer is placed on top. As the polyacrylamide hydrogel forms between the two wafers, it covalently incorporates the acrydite-terminated sequences into the matrix. Finally, the oligos are released from the donor wafer upon immersing in an ammonia solution that cleaves the 3'-linkers, thus freeing the oligos at the 3' end. The array is now presented 3'-up on the surface of the gel-coated acceptor wafer. Various types of on-gel enzymatic reactions demonstrate a versatile and robust platform that can easily be constructed with far more molecular complexity than traditional photolithographic arrays by endowing the system with multiple enzymatic substrates. We produce a new generation of microarrays where highly ordered, purified oligos are inverted 3'-up, in a biocompatible soft hydrogel, and functional with respect to a wide variety of programable enzymatic reactions.

Abstract
In this work, a label-free Ag nanocluster (AgNC)-based fluorescent probe is proposed to detect tumor marker, prostate-specific antigen (PSA). In the experiments, DNA sequences containing segments complemented to different parts of PSA aptamer were used to synthesize DNA-Ag nanoclusters (DNA-AgNC). Some of the obtained specific DNA-AgNC exhibited significant fluorescence increase after hybridization with PSA aptamer. Based on this, a simple DNA-AgNC/aptamer hybridization probe was fabricated for PSA detection using fluorescence quenching, because competitively specific binding between PSA and its aptamer inhibited the fluorescence enhancement effect of PSA aptamer on DNA-AgNC. The sequence of template DNA, pH and salt concentration of binding buffer, and the concentration of aptamer were optimized. Under optimum conditions, the concentration of PSA within the range of 2-150 ng mL-1 with the detection limit of 1.14 ng mL-1 was detected (3σ; n = 7). This approach was also successfully applied to determine PSA in spiked serum samples. As is well known, this was the first report to realize PSA detection using fluorescent AgNC-based probe. This work would provide reference for construction of AgNC-based probes for detecting other proteins.

Abstract
Pyrosequencing, a real-time sequencing technology, is considered a "gold standard" for quantitative allele quantification at single base resolution. Quantitative bisulfite Pyrosequencing determines DNA methylation level by analyzing artificial "C/T" SNPs at CpG sites within a specific Pyrosequencing assay. The bisulfite Pyrosequencing methylation assay design is DNA strand specific and the primer design should not contain any CpG sites and should be free of high-frequency mutations. Additionally Pyrosequencing assays must be tested for preferential amplification during bisulfite PCR to ensure the sequencing quantification accuracy and reproducibility. Pyrosequencing analysis gives a reproducible measurement of average methylation at several CpG sites within the Pyrosequencing assay directly from a PCR product, rapidly and accurately for many samples at a time. It is therefore well suited for clinical research, validation of whole-genome methylation screening results, and global methylation analysis using repetitive elements including LINE-1, Alu, and Sat2. Pyrosequencing reproducibility and accuracy result in low measurement variance, thereby increasing the likelihood of early detection of small changes in methylation levels that may become apparent in response to treatment. For example, the high reproducibility of the LINE-1 assay is important for detecting the relatively small daily changes in methylation levels associated with hypomethylation. This enables detection of differences in patterns between normal and disease tissue such as in tumor suppresser genes, and to determine global methylation changes in response drug treatments. Relatively low cost and easy automation allows the researcher to increase the experiment's sample population to detect trends that would otherwise not have a sufficient sampling basis for statistical significance.

Abstract
With the increasing availability of genetic information and its relationship to human diseases, there is a growing need in the medical diagnostic field for technologies that can proceed to the parallel genotyping of multiple markers. In this paper, we report the development of a new flexible microarray-based method that aims to be inexpensive, accurate, and adapted to routine analysis. The construction of the MICAM (MICrosystem for Analysis in Medicine) DNA chip is based on the controlled electro-synthesis of a conducting polymer film bearing oligonucleotide probes on gold electrodes. First, accessible 3'OH-ends of grafted probes are directly used to conduct single template-dependent nucleotide extension reactions with fluorescence-labeled chain terminators. Then, the fluorescence of incorporated dideoxynucleotides on controls and probes of interest are recorded to assess base calling. Here, we present the development of the methodology to assign the genotype of TP53 (tumor protein p53) codon 72 polymorphism and its application to analysis of genomic DNA from cell lines and from human colorectal samples. The genotyping results obtained by mini-sequencing on the polypyrrole DNA chip were 100% concordant with data obtained by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism and direct sequencing. Moreover, the developed probe array assay has been successfully applied to the detection of TP53 loss of heterozygosity.

Abstract
The sequence-specific recognitions between DNA and proteins are playing important roles in many biological functions. The double-stranded DNA microarrays (dsDNA microarrays) can be used to study the sequence-specific recognitions between DNAs and proteins in highly parallel way. In this paper, two different elongation processes in forming dsDNA from the immobilized oligonucleotides have been compared in order to optimize the fabrication of dsDNA microarrays: (1) elongation from the hairpins formed by the self-hybridized oligonucleatides spotted on a glass; (2) elongation from the complementary primers hybridized on the spotted oligonucleatides. The results suggested that the dsDNA probes density produced by the hybridized-primer extension was about four times lower than those by the self-hybridized hairpins. Meanwhile, in order to reduce the cost of dsDNA microarrays, we have replaced the Klenow DNA polymerase with Taq DNA polymerase, and optimized the reaction conditions of on-chip elongation. Our experiments showed that the elongation temperature of 50 degrees C and the Mg(2+) concentration of 2.5 mM are the optimized conditions in elongation with Taq DNA polymerase. A dsDNA microarray has been successfully constructed with the above method to detect NF-kB protein.

Abstract
New linker phosphoramidite reagents containing a cleavable 3'-ester linkage are used for attaching the first nucleoside to the surface of a solid- phase support. Inexpensive, underivatized amino supports, such as long chain alkylamine controlled-pore glass, can serve as universal supports. No modifications to phosphoramidite coupling conditions are required and, after synthesis, treatment with NH(4)OH releases the products with 3'-OH ends. No 3'-dephosphorylation is required. Phosphoramidite reagents containing a succinate and sulfonyl diethanol linkage between the nucleoside and phosphoramidite group are particularly advantageous and can be used to create both 3'-OH and 5'-phosphate ends on oligonucleotides. Reproducibility and quality of oligonucleotide synthesis is demonstrated for either column and 96-well plate formats on low-, medium- or high-loading CPG supports.

Abstract
We present a novel method for fabricating unimolecular double-stranded DNA microarrays on solid surfaces, which were used to probe sequence-specific DNA/protein interactions. For manufacturing the unimolecular double-stranded DNA microarrays, two kinds of special single-stranded oligonucleotides, constant oligonucleotide and target oligonucleotide, were chemically synthesized. The constant oligonucleotides with internal aminated dT were used to capture and immobilize the target oligonucleotides onto the solid surface, and also to provide a primer for later enzymatic extension reactions, while target oligonucleotides took the role of harbouring DNA-binding sites of DNA-binding proteins. The variant target oligonucleotides were annealed and ligated with the constant oligonucleotides to form the new unimolecular oligonucleotides for microspotting. The prepared unimolecular oligonucleotides were microspotted on aldehyde-derivatized glass slides to make partial-dsDNA microarrays. Finally, the partial-dsDNA microarrays were converted into a unimolecular complete-dsDNA microarray by a DNA polymerase extension reaction. The efficiency and accuracy of the polymerase synthesis were demonstrated by the fluorescent-labeled dUTP incorporation in the enzymatic extension reaction and the restriction endonuclease digestion of the fabricated unimolecular complete-dsDNA microarray. The accessibility and specificity of the sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins binding to the immobilized unimolecular dsDNA probes were demonstrated by the binding of Cy3 labeled NF-κB (p50·p50) to the unimolecular dsDNA microarray. This unimolecular dsDNA microarray provides a general technique for high-throughput DNA-protein or DNA-drugs interactions.

Abstract
DNA microarrays have been used in applications ranging from the assignment of gene function to analytical uses in prognostics. However, the detection sensitivity, cross hybridization, and reproducibility of these arrays can affect experimental design and data interpretation. Moreover, several technologies are available for fabrication of oligonucleotide microarrays. We review these technologies and performance attributes and, with data sets generated from human brain RNA, present statistical tools and methods to analyze data quality and to mine and visualize the data. Our data show high reproducibility and should allow an investigator to discern biological and regional variability from differential expression. Although we have used brain RNA as a model system to illustrate some of these points, the oligonucleotide arrays and methods employed in this study can be used with cell lines, tissue sections, blood, and other fluids. To further demonstrate this point, we provide data generated from total RNA sample sizes of 200 ng.

Abstract
We have investigated the impact of steric effects on the hybridization and enzymatic extension of oligonucleotides bound to 12-nm colloidal Au particles. In these experiments, a nanoparticle-bound 12-mer sequence is hybridized either to its solution phase 12-mer complement or to an 88-mer template sequence. The particle-bound oligonucleotide serves as a primer for enzymatic extension reactions, in which covalent incorporation of nucleotides to form the complement of the template is achieved by the action of DNA polymerase. Primers were attached via-C(6)H(12)SH, -C(12)H(24)SH, and -TTACAATC(6)H(12)SH linkers attached at the 5' end. Primer coverage on the nanoparticles was varied by dilution with (5')HSC(6)H(12)AAA AAA(3'). Hybridization efficiencies were determined as a function of linker length, primer coverage, complement length (12-mer vs 88-mer), and primer:complement concentration ratio. In all cases, hybridization for the 88-mer was less efficient than for the 12-mer. Low primer surface coverage, greater particle-primer separation, and higher primer:complement ratios led to optimal hybridization. Hybridization efficiencies as high as 98% and 75% were observed for the 12-mer and 88-mer, respectively. Enzymatic extension of particle-bound primers was observed under all conditions tested; however, the efficiency of the reaction was strongly affected by linker length and primer coverage. Extension of primers attached by the longest linker was as efficient as the solution-phase reaction.

Abstract
Here we present the first large-scale effort at genotyping using a novel sequencing method, Pyrosequencingtrade mark, as a method for genotyping of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Pyrosequencingtrade mark genotypes were validated through duplicate analysis of 1,022 genotypes using the PSQ96trade mark instrument for pyrosequencing and TaqMan((R)) for 5'nuclease assays. Identical results were obtained using both methods. In a small pilot study, a pooling strategy using Pyrosequencingtrade mark was successfully tested. We conclude that Pyrosequencingtrade mark is highly efficient and accurate in the analysis of SNPs and represents a promising solution to high-throughput genotyping of large sample populations.

Abstract
5'-Phosphoramidites protected by 2-nitrophenylethyl (NPE) and 2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethoxy carbonyl (NPEOC) functions were employed for in situ synthesis of oligonucleotides in 5'-->3' direction on flat glass surfaces. By this inverse synthesis format, the oligonucleotides are attached to the solid support via their 5'-ends while the free 3'-hydroxyl groups are available as substrates for enzymatic reactions such as elongation by polymerases, thereby adding another feature to the portfolio of chip-based applications. Having a fluorescence dye present at the first base during synthesis, the quality of the oligonucleotides was analysed quantitatively by capillary electrophoresis after release from the solid support. With about 95% yield per condensation, it was found to be equivalent to synthesis results achieved on CPG support. The chip-bound oligonucleotides could be extended enzymatically upon hybridisation of a DNA-template. Surprisingly, however, only 63% of the oligonucleotides were elongated in polymerase reactions, while oligonucleotides that were released from the support behaved normally in standard PCR amplifications. This rate of 63% nevertheless compares favourably with an extension rate of only 50%, which was achieved under identical conditions, if pre-fabricated oligonucleotides of identical sequence had been spotted to the glass support.

Abstract
Oligonucleotide microarrays are used to analyze target sequences on the basis of differences in hybridization stability between matched and mismatched probe-target duplexes. DNA microarray manufacture via photolithographic synthesis generates a minority of full-length oligonucleotide probes along with a series of 5'-truncated contaminants. In a model experiment, we now investigate the effect of truncated oligonucleotides on the ability to distinguish target sequence variants that differ in a single nucleotide position. A series of oligonucleotides, mixed in proportions simulating stepwise synthetic yields of between 82 and 100%, were bound to a solid support and allowed to hybridize to a target molecule. The extent of hybridization was monitored over a range of temperatures via the fluorescence of a double-strand-specific dye. The discriminatory power of pure oligonucleotide probes was found to be significantly greater than that of a population of truncated probes, but only over a limited temperature interval. We conclude that at optimal temperatures greater oligonucleotide quality can improve the performance of oligonucleotide hybridization microarrays.

Abstract
Pyrosequencing is a nonelectrophoretic single-tube DNA sequencing method that takes advantage of cooperativity between four enzymes to monitor DNA synthesis. To investigate the feasibility of the recently developed technique for tag sequencing, 64 colonies of a selected cDNA library from human were sequenced by both pyrosequencing and Sanger DNA sequencing. To determine the needed length for finding a unique DNA sequence, 100 sequence tags from human were retrieved from the database and different lengths from each sequence were randomly analyzed. An homology search based on 20 and 30 nucleotides produced 97 and 98% unique hits, respectively. An homology search based on 100 nucleotides could identify all searched genes. Pyrosequencing was employed to produce sequence data for 30 nucleotides. A similar search using BLAST revealed 16 different genes. Forty-six percent of the sequences shared homology with one gene at different positions. Two of the 64 clones had unique sequences. The search results from pyrosequencing were in 100% agreement with conventional DNA sequencing methods. The possibility of using a fully automated pyrosequencer machine for future high-throughput tag sequencing is discussed.

Abstract
In the microarray format of the minisequencing method multiple oligonucleotide primers immobilised on a glass surface are extended with fluorescent ddNTPs using a DNA polymerase. The method is a promising tool for large-scale single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) detection. We have compared eight chemical methods for covalent immobilisation of the oligonucleotide primers on glass surfaces. We included both commercially available, activated slides and slides that were modified by ourselves. In the comparison the differently derivatised glass slides were evaluated with respect to background fluorescence, efficiency of attaching oligonucleotides and performance of the primer arrays in minisequencing reactions. We found that there are significant differences in background fluorescence levels among the different coatings, and that the attachment efficiency, which was measured indirectly using extension by terminal transferase, varied largely depending on which immobilisation strategy was used. We also found that the attachment chemistry affects the genotyping accuracy, when minisequencing on microarrays is used as the genotyping method. The best genotyping results were observed using mercaptosilane-coated slides attaching disulfide-modified oligonucleotides.

Abstract
Near instantaneous detection of pathogens from clinical material, combined with simultaneous prediction of their antimicrobial resistance profiles, would revolutionize the impact of microbiology on the management of infection. Array-based assays allow a range of characteristics to be rapidly and simultaneously determined. At present these systems have found their primary role as research tools for the monitoring of mRNA expression in the form of DNA microarrays or 'chips'. As fabrication costs reduce and validated targeted arrays are developed, it is inevitable they will be used for more routine applications. Microfluidics offers the exciting possibility of combining purification, amplification and detection in a single disposable device; microarrays are particularly suitable for use within these systems. Arrays will become an important tool for clinical diagnostics.

Abstract
Facile modification of oligodeoxyribonucleotides is required for efficient immobilization to a pre-activated glass surface. This report presents an oligodeoxyribonucleotide which contains a hairpin stem-loop structure with multiple phosphorothioate moieties in the loop. These moieties are used to anchor the oligo to glass slides that are pre-activated with bromoacetamidopropylsilane. The efficiency of the attachment reaction was improved by increasing the number of phosphorothioates in the loop, as shown in the remarkable enhancement of template hybridization and single base extension through catalysis by DNA polymerase. The loop and stem presumably serve as lateral spacers between neighboring oligodeoxyribonucleotides and as a linker arm between the glass surface and the single-stranded sequence of interest. The oligodeoxyribonucleotides of this hairpin stem-loop architecture with multiple phosphorothioate moieties have broad application in DNA chip-based gene analysis.

Abstract
Different chemical methods used to attach oligonucleotides by their 5'-end on a glass surface were tested in the framework of solid phase PCR where surface-bound instead of freely-diffusing primers are used to amplify DNA. Each method was first evaluated for its capacity to provide a high surface coverage of oligonucleotides essentially attached via a 5'-specific linkage that satisfyingly withstands PCR conditions and leaves the 3'-ends available for DNA polymerase activity. The best results were obtained with 5'-thiol-modified oligonucleotides attached to amino-silanised glass slides using a heterobifunctional cross-linker reagent. It was then demonstrated that the primers bound to the glass surface using the optimal chemistry can be involved in attaching and amplifying DNA molecules present in the reaction mix in the absence of freely-diffusing primers. Two distinct amplification processes called interfacial and surface amplification have been observed and characterised. The newly synthesised DNA can be detected and quantified by radioactive and fluorescent hybridisation assays. These new surface amplification processes are seen as an interesting approach for attachment of DNA molecules by their 5'-end on a solid support and can be used as an alternative route for producing DNA chips for genomic studies.
