Abstract excerpt
We describe a novel probe technology, termed HyBeacons, which provides a new homogeneous method for fluorescence-based sequence detection and allele discrimination. Employing a single nucleotide polymorphism located in the N-acetyltransferase 2 gene as a model system, we demonstrate the utility of HyBeacon probes for rapid and reliable sequence analysis. We also demonstrate that homozygous and heterozygous...
