Abstract: It is disclosed a method for the detection of an amplification of nucleic acids in which substantially use is made of the fact that a pre-defined nucleic acid chain (target sequence) can be multiplied/amplified in the presence of a target sequence-specific activator oligonucleotide. The target sequence-specific activator oligonucleotide causes the separation of re-synthesized complementary primer extension products by means of strand displacement, so that a new primer oligonucleotide can attach to the respective template strand. The thus formed complex of a primer oligonucleotide and a template strand can initiate a new primer extension reaction. The thus formed primer extension products in turn function as templates, so that an exponential amplification reaction results. Amplification is detected by a detection system.

Abstract: The invention relates to a novel method for the enzymatic marking of nucleic acid chains (target sequences) by means of nucleotide conjugates. Said nucleotide conjugates are able, under reaction conditions, to specifically bind to the target sequence and integrate into the complementary growing strand by means of a polymerase. The nucleic acid chains marked by such conjugates can be bound to the solid phase. The marking can be carried out parallel to the enzymatic amplification of target sequences.

Abstract: The invention relates to a novel method for the enzymatic marking of nucleic acid chains (target sequences) with nucleotide conjugates. Under reaction conditions, said nucleotide conjugates are able to bind to a target sequence, and can be incorporated into the complementary growing strand by way of a polymerase. The nucleotide conjugates can be used for sequencing nucleic acid chains.
