Abstract
The invention provides methods, compositions and systems for detecting multiple single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a population of target polynucleotides in parallel in a sandwich assay employing SNP probes, capture polynucleotides and, optionally, auxiliary polynucleotides. The relative affinities of the SNP probes for the corresponding SNP regions can be increased with reagents which normalize the melting temperatures of the probes and/or by positionally facilitating interactions between the SNP probe, the SNP region, the capture polynucleotide and/or the auxiliary polynucleotides, such as through a minor groove binder. The probes may comprise a degenerate set of all possible same-sized polynucleotides and the capture polynucleotides are generally immobilized and arrayed at corresponding discrete elements in high density.
