  • Key probe compositions and methods for polynucleotide detection
    Patent number: 7504218
    Abstract: The invention relates to compositions and methods for detection of nucleic acid sequences. The invention further relates to kit format of said compositions for detection of nucleic acid sequences. Oligonucleotide probes of the invention comprise a target binding sequence and a sequence at least partially complementary thereto, joined by an optional linker to form a hairpin structure in the absence of the target nucleic acid sequence. The probes of the invention comprise a pair of moieties that produce a detectable signal when the probe hybridizes to the target sequence.
