Nucleic acid diagnostic reagents and methods for detecting nucleic acids, polynucleotides and oligonucleotides

摘要

Methods for generating nucleic acid reagents useful for detecting nucleic acids, polynucleotides, and oligonucleotides are disclosed. Selection techniques, enzymatic nucleic acid molecules, allozymes (allosteric nucleic acid sensor molecules), ribozymes, and DNAzymes used as diagnostic reagents and tools are described.
