Abstract:
A process for identification of type-specific polynucleotide sequences in a sample, the process comprising the steps of (1) contacting polynucleotides from the sample, or derived from the sample, with a plurality of type-specific probes in the context of a solid support, and detection of any type-specific hybridisation; and (2) contacting polynucleotides in the sample, or derived from the sample, with type-specific primers for those types capable of being detected by the hybridisation step in step 1, but not so detected, in a type-specific amplification reaction.
