摘要
The present invention involves methods and compositions for identifying genes which are differentially expressed in a normal healthy animal and an animal having a selected disease or infection, and methods for diagnosing diseases or infections characterized by the presence of those genes, despite the absence of knowledge about the gene or its function. The methods involve the use of a composition suitable for use in hybridization which consists of a solid surface on which is immobilized at pre-defined regions thereon a plurality of defined oligonucleotide/polynucleotide sequences for hybridization. Each sequence comprises a fragment of an EST isolated from an identified DNA library prepared from tissue or cell samples of a healthy animal, an animal with a selected disease or infection, and any combination thereof. Differences in hybridization patterns produced through use of this composition and the specified methods enable diagnosis of disease based on differential expression of genes of unknown function, and enable the identification of those genes and the proteins encoded thereby.
