We report an approach for developing combinatorial fluorescence energy transfer (CFET) tags by tuning the tags' fluorescence emission signatures. The tags can all be excited at a single wavelength and analyzed by a simple optical system. We constructed eight CFET tags with unique fluorescence signatures, detected by a three-color capillary array electrophoresis (CAE) system with 488 nm excitation, using only three fluorescent dyes. A 1',2'-dideoxyribose phosphate spacer was used to separate the donor and acceptor to tune the energy transfer efficiency, generating unique fluorescence signatures. The spacer also served as an electrophoretic mobility tag to tune the mobility of CFET-labeled DNA for multiplex detection of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Six nucleotide variations were identified simultaneously using six CFET tags on synthetic DNA templates and on a PCR product from the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor gene.
