摘要 |
<p>This invention includes methods for analyzing single-stranded nucleic acid sequences, either RNA sequences or DNA sequences (ssDNA) utilizing dyes that fluoresce when associated with double strands, so-called DNA binding dyes or dsDNA-dyes. Methods according to this invention utilize a dsDNA-dye in combination with one or more hybridization probes that hybridize to a target nucleic acid sequence and that are labeled with a non-fluorescent quencher moiety, for example, a Black Hole quencher.</p> |
