Composition for detection of genes encoding membrane-associated proteins

Abstract

The present invention relates to a composition comprising a plurality of polynucleotide sequences. The composition can be used as probes or array elements.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A composition comprising a plurality of polynucleotide sequences comprising at least a fragment of a sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs:1-305.  
     
     
         2 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein each of said polynucleotide sequences comprises at least a fragment of a sequence encoding a membrane-associated protein.  
     
     
         3 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein each of said polynucleotide sequences comprises at least a fragment of a sequence encoding a receptor.  
     
     
         4 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein each of said polynucleotide sequences comprises at least a fragment of a sequence encoding an ion channel.  
     
     
         5 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein each of said polynucleotide sequences comprises at least a fragment of a sequence selected from SEQ ID NOs:1-288.  
     
     
         6 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein said polynucleotide sequences comprise at least a fragment of a sequence selected from SEQ ID NOs:289-294.  
     
     
         7 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein said polynucleotide sequences comprise at least a fragment of a sequence selected from SEQ ID NOs:295-305.  
     
     
         8 . The composition of  claim 7 , wherein the fragment is selected from the group consisting of: 
 (a) SEQ ID NOs:295-297; or    (b) SEQ ID NOs:298-305;    
     
     
         9 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the polynucleotide sequence is a probe.  
     
     
         10 . The composition of  claim 9 , wherein the polynucleotide sequence is immobilized on a substrate.  
     
     
         11 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the polynucleotide sequence is an array element.
