Randomized trial demonstrates rapid DNA sequence analysis in human genetics, suggesting a new diagnostic tool.

The study aims to develop a rapid method for DNA sequence analysis using light-generated oligonucleotide arrays.
Utilized photolithographic techniques to generate a miniaturized array of 256 octanucleotides.
Conducted 16 chemical reaction cycles over 4 hours to produce the array.
Detected hybridization patterns using epifluorescence microscopy.
Fluorescence signals from complementary probes were 5-35 times stronger than those from mismatched hybridizations.
The method demonstrated specificity in identifying complementary DNA sequences.

Pease et al. (1994) studied this question.
