  • Patent number: 9127309
    Abstract: Described are approaches for the identification, detection, and quantification of nucleic acids in a biological sample. These methods are based, in part, on the elucidation of anomalous migration properties of short nucleic acid molecules when conjugated to a fluorescent label, such as fluorescein labels, such that a smaller nucleic acid reliably migrates slower than a larger nucleic acid under the same conditions of separation.

  • Publication number: 20090197254
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods of detecting target nucleic acids. In particular, methods for avoiding loss of the fluorescent label form an amplicon that is generated using a Scorpion primer and a polymerase with 5? exonuclease activity. The methods use a Scorpion primer which comprises a fluorophore, a quencher, and in 5? to 3? order, a probe region, a linker region and a primer region, wherein the quencher is located at or near the 5? end, and, wherein the primer is complementary to the target nucleic acid and the probe region hybridizes to a complementary sequence in an extension product of the primer. The methods provide for detection of target nucleic acids in simplex or multiplex formats.
