<p>Disclosed is a method of testing for the presence of a nucleic acid sequence of interest in a sample, comprising: contacting the sample with a first probe and a second probe, portions of said probes being capable of hybridising to the sequence of interest such that the probes are adjacent or substantially adjacent to one another, so as to enable other portions of the first and second probes to become annealed to each other; treating the sample so as to cause chain extension of one of the probes using part of a probe as a template; and detecting at least part of the extended probe.</p> |
