| 摘要 |
The present invention relates to the detection of a polynucleotide using a padlock probe, whereby a hybridization process is combined with ligation to irreversibly capture polynucleotides of interest. The invention relates both to the padlock probe itself, as well as to methods of use, which allow for varying levels of sensitivity due to amplification of signal processes built into the system. Additionally, preferred formats are disclosed for use of the padlock probes, including the use of microfluidics. |
