Nucleic Acid Array

Nucleic Acid Array. Means (i) an array fabricated solely by placing only fully synthesized nucleic acids (clonal polynucleotides or other presynthesized polynucleotides, with no further fabrication of nucleic acids) at defined locations on a solid support or (ii) an array fabricated solely by synthesizing oligonucleotides using an inkjet head to deposit nucleotides at defined locations on a solid support without using controlled direction of electromagnetic energy. In the case of both (i) and (ii), all of such... nucleic acids may not represent more than 8,000 genes/expressed sequence tags; provided, however, during the periods of this Agreement in which Licensee has purchased an unlimited number of ABEs there shall be no limit on the number of genes/expressed sequence tags that Licensee may represent on a single Nucleic Acid Array.
