Chip-based speciation and phenotypic characterization of microorganisms

摘要

This invention relates to a method for identifying a genotype of a first organism, comprising:(a) providing an array of oligonucleotides at known locations on a substrate, said array comprising probes complementary to reference DNA or RNA sequences from a second organism;(b) hybridizing a target nucleic acid sequence from the first organism to the array; and(c) based on an overall hybridization pattern of the target to the array, identifying the genotype of the first organism, and optionally identifying a phenotype of the first organism.
