Definitions
- a DNA chip is a rigid flat surface, typically glass or silicon, with short chains of related nucleic acids spotted in rows and columns on it. Hybridization between a fluorescently-labeled DNA and specific locations on the chip can be detected and analyzed by computer-based instrumentation. The information derived from the results of hybridization to DNA chips is stimulating advances in drug development, gene discovery, gene therapy, gene expression, genetic counseling, and plant biotechnology.
- Chip dimensions the number of sites of DNA deposition (sometimes termed “addresses") per chip, and the width ofthe DNA spot per "address" are dependent upon the technologies employed for deposition.
- the most commonly used technologies produce spots with diameters of 50-300 ⁇ m.
- Photolithography produces spots that can have diameters as small as 1 micron. Technologies for making such chips are known to those skilled in these arts and are described, for instance, in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,925,525, 5,919,523, 5,837,832, and 5,744,305, which are incorporated herein by reference.
- Hybridization to DNA chips can be monitored by fluorescence optics, by radioisotope detection, and by mass spectrometry.
- the most widely- used method for detection of hybridization employs fluorescently-labeled DNA, and a computerized system featuring a confocal fluorescence microscope (or an epifiuorescence microscope), a movable microscope stage, and DNA detection software.
- a computerized system featuring a confocal fluorescence microscope (or an epifiuorescence microscope), a movable microscope stage, and DNA detection software.
- these conventional approaches to visualizing the surface of a DNA chip involve placing the chip on a microscope stage, moving the stage to put the sample into focus with a microscope objective, and triggering a digital camera or similar device to capture an image.
- An objective is a device made of a group of lenses that have a sophisticated design that collects light from the sample, magnifies the image ofthe sample, and minimizes the unavoidable image and color distortion caused by the passage ofthe light through the objective.
- the light collected from the sample passes through the objective and through a set of mirrors and lenses until is delivered to an eyepiece or the camera.
- the light path is the path that the light takes from the point where it leaves the surface ofthe sample until it reaches an imaging device such as an eyepiece or camera.
- the microscopes are integral with light sources that direct light on to the sample.
- microscopes also have sets of optical filters that allow for viewing of fluorescent images.
- the DNA that is hybridized to the surface ofthe DNA chip is typically labeled with fluorescent molecules that absorb light at one wavelength and then emit a different wavelength.
- the microscope is equipped with sets of optical filters that block the wavelengths of light from the light source but allow the light emitted by the fluorescent molecules to pass through the light path to reach the eyepiece or camera.
- the light source is typically integral with the microscope and is an important part ofthe imaging system.
- a single microscope objective typically has multiple lenses.
- a lens as used herein, means a transparent solid material shaped to magnify, reduce, or redirect light rays.
- a light filter or mirror is distinct from a lens.
- use of a microscope requires a dedicated workspace that is approximately the size of a typical desk.
- Conventional microscopes have a light path that is several centimeters long that transmits the collected light through air and other assorted optical devices within the light path.
- One ofthe challenges in microscopy is making the microscope as efficient as possible in capturing all ofthe light that leaves the sample surface so that an optimal image may be made.
- CMOS complementary metal oxide semiconductor
- CCD and CMOS imaging detectors are two-dimensional arrays of electronic light sensors. Each array consists of a set of known, unique positions that are also called addresses. Each address in a CCD or CMOS array is occupied by a sensor that covers an area that is typically shaped as a box or a rectangle; this area or the area occupied by a single sensor is referred to as a pixel.
- a light-detecting sensor located on a pixel is called a detector pixel.
- a detector pixel may be in a CCD sensor, a CMOS sensor, or other device that detects or measures light.
- the sizes of detector pixels vary widely and may have a diameter or length of 0.2 ⁇ m, which is the theoretical limit of resolution ofthe light microscope.
- Light means any electromagnetic emission of at least 120 nm wavelength and includes ultraviolet, visible, and infrared light.
- CCDs widely used in consumer and scientific applications such as digital recorders and digital cameras, are most sensitive, and may be made with detector pixels that are smaller than those of CMOS devices.
- CMOS devices are now beginning to be incorporated in recorders and cameras because they are less expensive to produce.
- CMOS devices also are easier to interface with external control systems than CCDs.
- Some readily-available CMOS devices are capable of acquiring, digitizing, and transmitting an image without additional circuitry, while CCD arrays require two or more additional circuit elements to accomplish the same tasks.
- the present invention describes an inexpensive device and method for resolving the light spots emitted by a light-transparent DNA chip.
- the method is direct mapping ofthe light emitted by a single DNA spot onto corresponding detector pixels of an electronic light detector array system.
- One method is to put the DNA chip in direct physical contact with the electronic light detector array system.
- a simple optical system such as a single mapping lens, maps an enlarged or reduced version of the DNA array onto the electronic light detector array.
- Computer software processes the data from the electronic light detector array system. The data may be treated as a two-dimensional map or otherwise processed as an array.
- This system comprises an electronic light detector array, a filter, and, optionally, a mapping lens system.
- the invention enables the DNA chip to be mapped onto the electronic light detector array.
- each position on the DNA chip surface has a corresponding position or set of positions on the detector array whereby a fluorescence at an address on the DNA chip surface is projected onto a known pixel or set of pixels.
- Direct mapping is inexpensive. It eliminates the need for a complicated microscope that requires maintenance and trained personnel. It captures light directly from the sample; by eliminating many lenses, disadvantages stemming from use of many lenses are reduced. Direct mapping enables direct capture of light so that a maximal amount of light is captured from the sample; minimizing the loss of light creates a very sensitive imaging system.
- Electronic light detector array systems include an electronic light detector array such as a CMOS or CCD chip and the associated equipment for visualization. This associated equipment includes filters, lenses, and light sources. The filters may be any filter used to reflect or selectively pass or reject light wavelengths. Such filters include edge filters, narrow band filters, dichroic mirrors and filters used in the visualization arts, including optical, ultraviolet, confocal, and two- or multi-photon microscopy.
- Light sources include those commonly used in the visualization arts, including optical, ultraviolet, confocal, and two-photon or multi-photon microscopy. Light sources further include light lamps and light lasers, such as visible-light lamps, ultraviolet lamps, mercury lamps, and lasers, including argon lasers, helium-cadmium lasers, semiconductor lasers, and so forth.
- Such equipment includes manual or electric filter-switchers, movable mirrors, and motors and controls to raster a laser across a sample.
- Various equipment is associated with CCD and CMOS sensors, which are incorporated into a myriad of commercially available cameras and detectors.
- CCD and CMOS sensors which are incorporated into a myriad of commercially available cameras and detectors.
- various equipment and techniques are known for producing a color image using red, green, and blue detection; for example, an image may be split into three images, each of which is sent through a red, green, or blue filter to a CCD sensor.
- CCD sensors may be placed on a chip with different sensitivities to red, green, and blue light.
- Such equipment include techniques and electronic means for improving an image, and include electronic filters (high-pass, low-pass, etc.), time and frame-averaging, image subtraction, and other techniques known to those skilled in these arts.
- the detection system may be configured to excite, detect, filter, and process fluorescence from conventional fluorophores, for example, fluorophores described in catalogues published by Life Technologies, Inc. (Rockville, MD), Sigma-Aldrich, Inc. (SIGMA, ALDRICH, and FLUKA brand names; St. Louis, MO), Pierce Chemicals (Rockford, IL), and other suppliers known to those skilled in these arts.

- SIGMA Sigma-Aldrich, Inc.
- ALDRICH ALDRICH
- FLUKA brand names St. Louis, MO
- Pierce Chemicals Pierceford, IL
- other suppliers known to those skilled in these arts.
- other DNA visualization techniques are currently known and used, and many examples of these technologies are set forth
- amplification systems that may be used in combination with a colorimetric or fluorescent system may also be used; for example, avidin-biotin or antibody- based techniques.
- the target DNA labeled with biotin may be placed on the DNA chip. After a washing protocol is performed, the sample may be exposed to labeled avidin, which makes a strong bond to the biotin.

- the invention may be used with DNA or with other combinations of hybridizable molecules, for instance RNA-DNA or DNA-protein interactions.
- DNA-DNA hybridization has been used as an example but the invention includes all polynucleic acid hybridization techniques, including RNA-RNA hybridization.
- Polynucleic acid as used herein, means DNA, RNA, two or more oligonucleotides or oligonucleosides, and all long or short sequences of nucleic acids.
- “DNA chip” or “polynucleic acid chip” as used herein refers not only to DNA sequences immobilized on small solid substrates, but also refers to RNA, etc., and generally to a device with biomolecules immobilized to it.
- the present invention is a device and method for detecting the pattern of polynucleic acid hybridization to a surface.
- the device includes (a) a positioning device for receiving a nucleic acid chip and keeping the chip in a sampling position, the nucleic acid chip being an object with a flat sample surface and an opposed surface that is joined to the sample surface by a thickness, with the sample surface having sequences of nucleic acids immobilized thereto, with each sequence being immobilized to a particular chip address.
- an electronic light detector array comprising detector pixels, the detector pixels being sensors located at particular detector pixel addresses, wherein the sampling position places the sample surface ofthe chip at a well-defined position relative to the electronic light detector array so that light leaving a chip address is substantially directed onto at least one detector pixel with an address that is correlated to the chip address.

- Electronic direct mapping is analogous to the established photographic method known as contact printing.
- contact printing a photographic negative is placed in direct contact with unexposed photographic paper, and illuminated briefly. When the photographic paper is subsequently developed, its image has a 1:1 conespondence to the negative.
- the smallest diameter DNA spot currently attainable on a DNA chip approximates the diameter or length of each detector pixel in a conventional CMOS device, roughly 10 ⁇ m. Therefore, if the DNA array and the CMOS array are in close proximity to each other, the light emitted by each member of a DNA array can be directly mapped to a limited number of detector pixels in the sensor array. This direct mapping method would eliminate the expensive optical systems that are required for DNA chip analysis, and, by lowering the cost, expand the potential applications of DNA chip technology.
- Fig. 1 illustrates the electronic components and general function of an electronic light detector array detection system such as a CMOS-based detection system 1 which is used to acquire and display a visual image 2.
- the light image is collected by a mapping lens 3, which focuses the image onto the CMOS detector 4.
- the detector containing many detector pixels 5, is mounted on a circuit board 6, which contains a direct current power supply 7 for the detector.
- the detector has electronic circuitry that converts the electrical signals detected by its detector pixels to digital form, and facilitates the transfer ofthe digitized signal to a computer 8 via a communications cable 9.
- the digital signal is mapped to the computer's video memory, passed by a cable 10 to a monitor 11, which displays the reconstructed image 12.
- Fig. 2 illustrates the method used to acquire and display the image 13 emitted by a DNA chip 14 that is excited with ultraviolet or blue light 15 directed through an aperture 16 onto the chip.
- the emitted light passes through an optical filter 17, that removes the excitation light, and impinges on the detector pixels 5 ofthe CMOS detector 4.
- the CMOS detector 4 contains circuitry that converts analog light impulses to digital form, which can be transmitted to a computer 8, and ultimately displayed as a reconstructed image 18 on a monitor 11.
- a clamping system 19 holds the detector, filter, and DNA chip in contact with each other.
- a light-tight enclosure 20 houses the optical system.
- An optical filter as described herein, means a light filter that blocks the passage of some wavelengths of light and allows the passage of other wavelength of light.
- Fig. 3 illustrates two alternative optical detection systems for the direct mapping method.
- the DNA chip contacts the optical filter.
- the image on the chip is directly transmitted to the CMOS detector.
- the DNA chip is in sequence with a mapping lens 3, with focal length suitable for focusing the image emitted by the chip onto the surface ofthe detector.
- the theoretical resolving power of this detection method will be directly related to the spacing between the DNA fluorescent sources and the imaging detector pixels.
- the actual resolving power will also be a function of the emission from the DNA and the sophistication ofthe software used to extract and reconstruct the DNA fluorescence images.
- the theoretical resolving power ofthe configuration including a simple mapping lens or lens system will be limited by the optical quality ofthe mapping lens and by light diffraction.
- the resolving power of direct mapping can be computed as the sum ofthe larger of detector pixel diameter (roughly 10 ⁇ m) or spot diameter, plus chip thickness (10 ⁇ m) plus filter thickness (10 ⁇ m).
- the image from a 10 ⁇ m DNA spot would map onto a 30 ⁇ m x 30 ⁇ m area ofthe detector containing 9 detector pixels, while the image from a 50 ⁇ m DNA spot would map onto a 70 ⁇ m x 70 ⁇ m area countering 49 detector pixels.
- a CMOS device such as the HDCS-1100 (Hewlett-Packard Components Group; Corvallis, OR) which has a 352 x 288 detector pixel anay, can resolve approximately 1,000 spots that are 10 ⁇ m in diameter, and approximately 2,000 spots that are 50 ⁇ m in diameter.
- HDCS-1100 Hewlett-Packard Components Group; Corvallis, OR
- the detector pixels on suitable electronic light detector array devices can integrate light emission with time, in much the same way that longer photographic exposure is used to develop faint images. This time integration will permit the detection of any light impulse that can be detected with a computer-assisted confocal microscope so long as the fluorescence signal exceeds device dark current and background light.
- the optical system ofthe invention (for example, a single mapping lens) can magnify or reduce the image.
- a mapping lens would permit the emissions from the DNA to optimally project onto the detector pixels ofthe CMOS device.
- a reducing mapping lens is capable of mapping the emission from a 50 ⁇ m spot onto an individual detector pixel.
- Fig. 4 is a block diagram of an embodiment ofthe invention. The light emitted from a DNA chip is passed through an optical filter and transmitted to a CMOS detector, where it is digitized, relayed to a computer, and subsequently displayed as an image on the computer's monitor.
- the invention is compatible with laser-based visualization techniques (Fig. 5).
- a laser 40 may be used to generate laser light 41 that may be reflected off of minor 35 and thereby directed onto labeled DNA hybridized 30 to DNA immobilized on DNA chip 14.
- the hybridized DNA 30 fluoresces and emits fluorescent light.
- Filter 17 selectively passes the fluorescent light but not the laser light 41.
- the fluorescent light is directly mapped onto the CCD sensor 25.
- the laser may be rastered across the sample so that only select portions ofthe sample are illuminated at one time.
- a laser-based system, or a system using a lamp-type light source 15 may be used with a dichroic mirror arrangement (Fig. 6).
- the lamp-type source 15 emits light 43 that is reflected off a dichroic mirror 36 onto immobilized, labeled, hybridized DNA 30. If the label on the hybridized DNA 30 is a fluorescent label then the fluorescence emitted in response to excitation by light 43 may pass through dichroic minor 36 and be mapped directly onto CCD detector 25.
- An image on a computer screen or in a computer memory may be generated from the detector using techniques already described.
- a negative image could be made by causing DNA to appear as a dark spot on a bright field.
- a bright fluorescent field created by making DNA chip 14 with autofluorescent components, could be used with a label on hybridized DNA 30 that quenches or blocks light. The hybridized DNA would then appear as dark spots on a computer-generated image. Compounds that quench fluorescence are known to those skilled in these arts.
- hybridized DNA could be labeled after it is immobilized to the DNA chip 14.
- a stain that blocks transmission of visible light may be used.
- the DNA could already incorporate a label that could be colorimetrically developed after the DNA is immobilized; for instance, the hybridized DNA might have an enzyme that would cause a colored precipitate to form when the chip was exposed to a suitable substrate - for example, a horse radish peroxidase (HRP) system could be used.
- the immobilized DNA might have a fluorescent molecule that was quenched by elements on the hybridizing DNA.
- a mapping lens 3 may be used to enhance the direct mapping of the system incorporating a dichroic mirror 36 (Fig. 7). Mapping lens 3 will focus light that passes through dichroic minor 36 so that the pixels of DNA on DNA chip 30 are mapped onto the detector pixels of CCD detector 25.
- the invention may be embodied without an optical filter (Figs. 8B, 8C).
- a light-transmitting DNA chip 14 with hybridized DNA may be treated so that the hybridized DNA appears as dark spots that fully or partially block light.
- Light 43 from a light source passes though DNA chip 14 but is blocked by light-blocking hybridized DNA 32.
- the resultant map that is formed on CCD detector 25 shows the addresses that have hybridized DNA.
- Many fluorescent and non-fluorescent techniques for labeling DNA before or after its hybridization to DNA or before or after its immobilization to the DNA chip 14 are known to those skilled in these arts.
- a variation on this embodiment is to place the face of DNA chip 14 that has the light-blocking DNA 32 on the side opposite the light source.
- a cover 52 may be interposed between the DNA 32 and the CCD detector 25 so that CCD detector is not fouled by the DNA 32.
- the cover 52 may be a mere protective film such as a coating, or a coverslip, a plastic wrap such as polyethylene film, or other material that transmits the wavelength ofthe light 41.
- Light 43 may be any wavelength specified herein as light and DNA 32 may be any means for blocking that transmission that is known to those skilled in these arts.
- the filters, lenses, and DNA chips ofthe invention may be used in various combinations (Figs. 9A, 9B).
- a lens and filter may be combined into lens-filter 50 that is interposed between the DNA chip 14 and CCD detector 25.
- the DNA chip may be made as DNA chip-filter 51 that provided a solid substrate for DNA immobilization and acts to filter the light from the light source or from the immobilized DNA 30. Materials or coatings for filters are well-known to those skilled in the optical arts.
