<p>The invention relates to a method of generating a signal indicative of the presence of a target nucleic acid sequence in a sample, where the method includes forming a cleavage structure by incubating a sample comprising a target nucleic acid sequence with a probe having a secondary structure that changes upond binding of the probe to the target nucleic acid sequence, and cleaving the cleavage structure with a nuclease to release a nucleic acid fragment to generate a signal, wherein generation of the signal is indicative of the presence of a target nucleic acid sequence in a sample. The invention also relates to a method of detecting or measuring a target nucleic acid sequence in a sample, where the method includes forming a cleavage structure by incubating a sample containing a target nucleic acid sequence with a probe having a secondary structure that changes upon binding of the probe to target nucleic acid sequence and cleaving the cleavage structure with a nuclease to generate a cleaved nucleic acid fragment.</p> |
