Quantification of nucleic acid.

摘要

Disclosed is a method of quantifying a target nucleic acid in a test sample by adding to the test sample a known number of molecules of a corresponding nucleic acid comprising a well-defined mutant sequence. Said mutant sequence being discriminatory from the target nucleic acid. Subsequently a competitive amplification reaction of the nucleic acid is performed after which quantification of the amplified nucleic acid is performed by a differential detection.
