We propose an assay to detect and quantify alternative splicing simultaneously for numerous genes in a pool of cellular mRNA. The assay exploitspolymerase colonies, a recently developed method for sampling and amplifying large numbers of individual transcript molecules into discrete spots on a gel. The proposed assay combines the advantages of microarrays for transcript quantitation with the sensitivity and precision of methods based on counting single transcript molecules. Given a collection of spots si, each containing an unknown splice variant of some known gene Gi, we design a series of hybridizations to short oligonucleotide probes to determine in parallel which exons of Giare present in every spot si. We give algorithms to minimize the cost of such designs.
