As a consequence of Human Genome Project and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) discovery projects, several millions of SNPs, which include possible susceptibility SNPs for multifactorial diseases, have been revealed. Accordingly, there has been a strong drive to perform the investigation with all candidate SNPs for a certain disease without decreasing the number of analyzed SNPs. We developed DigiTag assay, which uses well-designed oligonucleotides called DNA coded numbers (DCNs) in multiplex SNP genotype analysis. During the analysis, the information of a genotype is converted to one of the DCNs in a one to one manner using oligonucleotide ligation assay (encoding). After the encoding reaction, only the DCNs regions and not the SNP specific regions are amplified using the universal primers and then SNP genotype is read out using DNA capillary arrays. DigiTag assay was found to be successful in SNP genotyping, giving a high success rate (24 of 27 SNPs) for randomly chosen SNPs. Moreover, this assay has the potential to analyze almost all kinds of the target SNPs by applying mismatch-induced probes and redesigned primer pairs at a low-cost. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc.
