Abstract. In this paper we address two optimization problems arising
in the design of genomic assays based on universal tag arrays. First, we
address the universal array tag set design problem. For this problem, we
extend previous formulations to incorporate antitag-to-antitag hybridiza-
tion constraints in addition to constraints on antitag-to-tag hybridization
specificity, establish a constructive upper bound on the maximum num-
ber of tags satisfying the extended constraints, and propose a simple
greedy tag selection algorithm. Second, we give methods for improving
the multiplexing rate in large-scale genomic assays by combining primer
selection with tag assignment. Experimental results on simulated data
show that this integrated optimization leads to reductions of up to 50%
in the number of required arrays.
1 Introduction
High throughput genomic technologies have revolutionized biomedical sciences,
and progress in this area continues at an accelerated pace in response to the
increasingly varied needs of biomedical research. Among emerging technologies,
one of the most promising is the use of universal tag arrays [4, 7, 8], which provide
unprecedented assay customization flexibility while maintaining a high degree of
multiplexing and low unit cost.
A universal tag array consists of a set of DNA tags, designed such that each
tag hybridizes strongly to its own antitag (Watson-Crick complement), but to
no other antitag [2]. Genomic assays based on universal arrays involve multiple
hybridization steps. A typical assay [3, 5], used for Single Nucleotide Polymor-
phism (SNP) genotyping, works as follows. (1) A set of reporter olig
