  • Compositions, methods, and kits for nucleic acid hybridization
    Patent number: 9512493
    Abstract: Polynucleotides having a first polynucleotide segment contiguous with a second polynucleotide segment that is downstream to the first, wherein the sequence of the first polynucleotide segment is complementary to the sequence of a first probe segment of a probe for detection of a target nucleic acid sequence, wherein the sequence of the second polynucleotide segment is complementary to the sequence of a second probe segment of the probe, wherein the second probe segment is downstream to the first probe segment, are provided. The polynucleotides may be employed with dual-labeled probes (DLPs) in assays for the detection of the target nucleic acid sequences.
    Type: Grant
