NUCLEIC ACID PROBE, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCTION OF PROBE POLYMER

摘要

Disclosed are: a probe polymer production method which can produce a polymer of a nucleic acid probe efficiently in a simple manner; a probe polymer produced by the method; a novel nucleic acid probe for use in the method; and a target analyte detection method which can detect a target analyte with high sensitivity and in a simple manner. Specifically, the nucleic acid probe comprises three or more nucleic acid domains. In the nucleic acid probe, the nucleic acid domains are so arranged that a first domain and a second domain complementary to the first domain are adjacent to each other. A polymer of the nucleic acid probe can be produced by reacting the nucleic acid probe.
