VERFAHREN, KITS UND ZUSAMMENFASSUNGEN MIT BEZIEHUNG ZU LINEAREN BAKEN

摘要

This invention is directed to methods, kits and compositions pertaining to Linear Beacons. In the absence of a target sequence, Linear Beacons facilitate efficient energy transfer between the donor and acceptor moieties linked to opposite ends of the probe. Upon hybridisation of the probe to a target sequence, there is a measurable change in at least one property of at least one donor or acceptor moiety of the probe which can be used to detect, identify or quantitate the target sequence in a sample.
