Abstract

See full text

Disclosed is a method for the comprehensive analysis of nucleic acid samples and a detector composition for use in the method. The method involves amplifying nucleic acid fragments of interest using a primer that can form a hairpin structure; sequence-based coupling of the amplified fragments to detector probes; and detection of the coupled fragments. The amplified fragments are coupled by hybridization and coupling, preferably by ligation, to detector probes. A hairpin structure formed at the end of the amplified fragments facilitates coupling of the fragments to the probes. The method allows detection of the fragments where detection provides some sequence information for the fragments. The method allows a complex sample of nucleic acid to be quickly and easily cataloged in a reproducible and sequence-specific manner. The method can also be used to detect amplified fragments having a known sequence.
