Abstract
Microfabricated arrays of immobilized oligodeoxynucleotide probes are proving to be a powerful tool for rapidly generating sequence data via hybridization. These arrays are made either by immobilization of the probe post-synthetically, or by in situ synthesis of the probe. Hybridization of the target is easily achieved on the arrays, with analysis proceeding either by direct detection, or through enzyme-mediated detection; analysis of the hybridization pattern yields sequence information about the target. Such facile and rapid data acquisition will assist the challenging task of sequencing the human genome, and also will lead to a new generation of diagnostic assays.

Abstract
Four types of polyacrylamide or polydimethyl-acrylamide gels for regioselective (by immobilization at the 3' end) of short oligonucleotides have been designed for use in manufacturing oligonucleotide microchips. Two of these supports contain amino or aldehyde groups in the gel, allowing coupling with oligonucleotides bearing aldehyde or amino groups, respectively, in the presence of a reducing agent. The aldehyde gel support showed a higher immobilization efficiency relative to the amino gel. Of all reducing agents tested, the best results were obtained with a pyridine-borane complex. The other supports are based on an acrylamide gel activated with glutaraldehyde or a hydroxyalkyl-functionalized gel treated with mesyl chloride. The use of dimethylacrylamide instead of acrylamide allows subsequent gel modifications in organic solvents. All the immobilization methods are easy and simple to perform, give high and reproducible yields, allow long durations of storage of the activated support, and provide high stability of attachment and low non-specific binding. Although these gel supports have been developed for preparing oligonucleotide microchips, they may be used for other purposes as well.

Abstract
Two photolithographic methods are described for the formation of patterned single or multiple DNA species on SiO2 substrates. In the first approach, substrates are treated with a photochemically labile organosilane monolayer film. Irradiation of these surfaces with patterned deep UV (193 nm) light results in patterned chemically reactive groups which are then reacted with heterobifunctional crosslinking molecules. Covalent attachment of modified synthetic DNA oligomers to the crosslinker results in stable DNA patterns. Alternatively, a photoresist is spin-coated over a silane film which had been previously modified with the heterobifunctional crosslinker. Upon patterned irradiation and subsequent development, the underlying crosslinker-modified layer is revealed, and is then reacted with a chemically modified DNA. Feature dimensions to 1 micron are observed when a single fluorescent DNA is attached to the surface. By performing sequential exposures, we have successfully immobilized two distinguishable DNA oligomers on a single surface. Synthetic DNA immobilized in this manner retains the ability to hybridize to its complementary strand, suggesting that these approaches may find utility in the development of miniaturized DNA-based biosensors.

Abstract
The covalent attachment of thiol-modified DNA oligomers; to self-assembled monolayer silane films on fused silica and oxidized silicon substrates is described. A heterobifunctional crosslinking molecule bearing both thiol- and amino-reactive moieties was used to tether a DNA oligomer (modified at its terminus with a thiol group) to an aminosilane film formed on silica surfaces. A variety of aminosilanes, crosslinkers and treatment conditions have been tested to identify optimal conditions for DNA immobilization using this approach. The DNA films which result have been characterized using UV spectroscopy, water contact angle measurement, radiolabeling and hybridization methods.

Abstract
The efficiency of sequencing by hybridization to an oligonucleotide microchip grows with an increase in the number and in the length of the oligonucleotides; however, such increases raise enormously the complexity of the microchip and decrease the accuracy of hybridization. We have been developing the technique of contiguous stacking hybridization (CSH) to circumvent these shortcomings. Stacking interactions between adjacent bases of two oligonucleotides stabilize their contiguous duplex with DNA. The use of such stacking increases the effective length of microchip oligonucleotides, enhances sequencing accuracy and allows the sequencing of longer DNA. The effects of mismatches, base composition, length and other factors on the stacking are evaluated. Contiguous stacking hybridization of DNA with immobilized 8mers and one or two 5mers labeled with two different fluorescent dyes increases the effective length of sequencing oligonucleotides from 8 to 13 and 18 bases, respectively. The incorporation of all four bases or 5-nitroindole as a universal base into different positions of the 5mers permitted a decrease in the number of additional rounds of hybridization. Contiguous stacking hybridization appears to be a promising approach to significantly increasing the efficiency of sequencing by hybridization.

Abstract
We present a further development in the technology of sequencing by hybridization to oligonucleotide microchips (SHOM) and its application to diagnostics for genetic diseases. A robot has been constructed to manufacture sequencing "microchips." The microchip is an array of oligonucleotides immobilized into gel elements fixed on a glass plate. Hybridization of the microchip with fluorescently labeled DNA was monitored in real time simultaneously for all microchip elements with a two-wavelength fluorescent microscope equipped with a charge-coupled device camera. SHOM has been used to detect beta-thalassemia mutations in patients by hybridizing PCR-amplified DNA with the microchips. A contiguous stacking hybridization technique has been applied for the detection of mutations; it can simplify medical diagnostics and enhance its reliability. The use of multicolor monitoring of contiguous stacking hybridization is suggested for large-scale diagnostics and gene polymorphism studies. Other applications of the SHOM technology are discussed.

Abstract
A mutation analysis method based upon a wild-type DNA sequence is presented. Oligonucleotides were utilized for primer extension by T7 DNA polymerase to discriminate between wild-type and mutant sequences in two solid phase approaches. 1. Oligonucleotides were annealed to an immobilized template, extended with fluorescent dideoxynucleotides (ddNTPs), and analyzed on an automated fluorescent DNA sequencer. The oligonucleotide length identified the known mutation site, and the fluorescence emission of the ddNTP identified the mutation. 2. Template DNA was annealed to an oligonucleotide array, extended with alpha-32P dNTPs, and analyzed with a Phosphor Imager. The grid position of the oligonucleotide identified the mutation site and the extended base identified the mutation.

Abstract
A mathematical model based on receptor-ligand interactions at a cell surface has been modified and further developed to represent heterogeneous DNA-DNA hybridization on a solid surface. The immobilized DNA molecules with known sequences are called probes, and the DNA molecules in solution with unknown sequences are called targets in this model. Capture of the perfectly complementary target is modeled as a combined reaction-diffusion limited irreversible reaction. In the model, there are two different mechanisms by which targets can hybridize with the complementary probes: direct hybridization from the solution and hybridization by molecules that adsorb nonspecifically and then surface diffuse to the probe. The results indicate that nonspecific adsorption of single-stranded DNA on the surface and subsequent two-dimensional diffusion can significantly enhance the overall reaction rate. Heterogeneous hybridization depends strongly on the rate constants for DNA adsorption/desorption in the non-probe-covered regions of the surface, the two-dimensional (2D) diffusion coefficient, and the size of probes and targets. The model shows that the overall kinetics of DNA hybridization to DNA on a solid support may be an extremely efficient process for physically realistic 2D diffusion coefficients, target concentrations, and surface probe densities. The implication for design and operation of a DNA hybridization surface is that there is an optimal surface probe density when 2D diffusion occurs; values above that optimum do not increase the capture rate. Our model predicts capture rates in agreement with those from recent experimental literature. The results of our analysis predict that several things can be done to improve heterogeneous hybridization: 1) the solution phase target molecules should be about 100 bases or less in size to speed solution-phase and surface diffusion; 2) conditions should be created such that reversible adsorption and two-dimensional diffusion occur in the surface regions between DNA probe molecules; 3) provided that 2) is satisfied, one can achieve results with a sparse probe coverage that are equal to or better than those obtained with a surface totally covered with DNA probes.

Abstract
Hybridization of nucleic acids to surface-tethered oligonucleotide probes has numerous potential applications in genome mapping and DNA sequence analysis. In this article, we describe a simple standard protocol for routine preparation of terminal amine-derivatized 9-mer oligonucleotide arrays on ordinary microscope slides and hybridization conditions with DNA target strands of up to several hundred bases in length with good discrimination against mismatches. Additional linker arms separating the glass surface from the probe sequence are not necessary. The technique described here offers a powerful tool for the detection of specific genetic mutations.

Abstract
Genetic epidemiological evidence suggests that mutations in BRCA1 may be responsible for approximately one half of early onset familial breast cancer and the majority of familial breast/ovarian cancer. The recent cloning of BRCA1 allows for the direct detection of mutations, but the feasibility of presymptomatic screening for cancer susceptibility is unknown. We analyzed genomic DNA from one affected individual from each of 24 families with at least three cases of ovarian or breast cancer, using SSCP assays. Variant SSCP bands were subcloned and sequenced. Allele-specific oligonucleotide hybridization was used to verify sequence changes and to screen DNA from control individuals. Six frameshift and two missense mutations were detected in 10 different families. A frameshift mutation was detected in a male proband affected with both breast and prostate cancer. A 40-bp deletion was detected in a patient who developed intra-abdominal carcinomatosis 1 year after prophylactic oophorectomy. Mutations were detected throughout the gene, and only one was detected in more than a single family. These results provide further evidence that inherited breast and ovarian cancer can occur as a consequence of a wide array of BRCA1 mutations. These results suggests that development of a screening test for BRCA1 mutations will be technically challenging. The finding of a mutation in a family with male breast cancer, not previously thought to be related to BRCA1, also illustrates the potential difficulties of genetic counseling for individuals known to carry mutations.
