A method for creating a nucleic acid probe array comprising the steps of: a) hybridizing a plurality of single-stranded first nucleic acids to a plurality of longer, single-stranded second nucleic acids complementary to the first nucleic acids wherein each second nucleic acid contains a variable terminal nucleotide sequence to form probes each having a double-stranded portion and a single-stranded portion with the variable nucleotide sequence in the single-stranded portion; b) hybridizing target nucleic acids to the probes; c) ligating hybridized targets to the first nucleic acids of the probes; d) isolating the second nucleic acids; and e) hybridizing additional first nucleic acids to isolated second nucleic acids to form the nucleic acid probe array.
