  • Detection of unlabeled nucleic acids by changing solubility of surface-associating probes
    Patent number: 10280450
    Abstract: Provided are methods and devices for detection of unlabeled nucleic acids. The detection methods are based on change of solubility of hydrophobic probes upon hybridization with a polynucleotide. In one embodiment, the probes are morpholino probes, having a fluorophore attached thereto. The morpholino probes are immobilized on a substrate that has fluorescence quenching functionality.
    Type: Grant
