The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for performing a large number of reactions using array assembly. In particular, the present invention features a method and apparatus for performing a large number of chemical and biological reactions by bringing two arrays into close apposition and allowing reactants on the surfaces of two arrays to come into contact. The present invention is exemplified by performing a large number of polynucleotide amplification reactions using array assembly. In addition, the present invention features a method and apparatus for coupling the amplification of polynucleotides and the detection of sequence variations, expression levels, and functions thereof.
本发明涉及使用阵列组装执行大量反应的方法和装置。特别地,本发明涉及一种通过将两个阵列靠近并允许位于两个阵列表面上的反应物接触来执行大量化学和生物反应的方法和装置。本发明的实例是使用阵列组装执行大量多核苷酸扩增反应。此外,本发明还涉及一种将多核苷酸扩增和序列变异、表达水平及其功能的检测相结合的方法和装置。
