摘要:
According to the present invention, a method for identifying a base sequence accompanying competitive hybridization is provided, wherein a nucleic acid having a target base sequence can be identified in an extremely short period of time as compared with conventional methods while maintaining the accuracy of identifying differences in base sequences. The method of the present invention comprises a thermal denaturation step for subjecting a sample double-stranded nucleic acid and a reference double-stranded nucleic acid containing the same base sequence as a target base sequence to thermal denaturation treatment in a single reaction solution, a temperature lowering step for carrying out competitive hybridization between the sample double-stranded nucleic acid and the reference double-stranded nucleic acid by lowering the temperature of the reaction solution after the thermal denaturation step, a measurement step for measuring a double-stranded nucleic acid formed by a nucleic acid strand that composed the reference double-stranded nucleic acid and a nucleic acid strand that composed the sample double-stranded nucleic acid, and an identification step for identifying identity between the reference double-stranded nucleic acid and the sample double-stranded nucleic acid based on measurement results obtained from the measurement step; wherein, the temperature lowering step is carried out in the presence of a cationic comb-type polymer.

Disclosed is a method of detecting a target base sequence having a polymorphic base, the method including: (a) a step of adding to a nucleic acid sample having a target nucleic acid that includes a base sequence including the target base sequence: at least one type of detection primer, at least one type of competitive primer, and at least one type of common primer; (b) a step of annealing the detection primer and the competitive primer to the target nucleic acid in a competitive manner, thereby synthesizing an extension product A; (c) a step of annealing the common primer to the extension product A obtained in the step (b) or in the following step (d), thereby synthesizing an extension product B; (d) a step of annealing the detection primer or the competitive primer to the extension product B obtained in the previous step (c), thereby synthesizing the extension product A; and (e) a step of detecting the extension product A or the extension product B.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method of distinguishing genotypes using PCR-PHFA including: a nucleic acid amplification step in which a mutation site-including region of a gene contained in a specimen is amplified by a nucleic acid amplification reaction, thereby obtaining an amplification reaction solution which contains a specimen double-stranded nucleic acid; and a distinction step in which the amplification reaction solution obtained from the nucleic acid amplification step is mixed with a reference double-stranded nucleic acid having a specific genotype on the mutation site as well as being labeled with a labeling substance, and the mixture is subjected to a competitive strand displacement reaction, and the level of the occurrence of strand displacement between the reference double-stranded nucleic acid and the specimen double-stranded nucleic acid is assessed so as to distinguish the identity between the reference double-stranded nucleic acid and the specimen double-stranded nucleic acid; and the competitive strand displacement reaction is performed under a condition to suppress a polymerase extension reaction, and a genotype distinguishing kit for use in the distinct of genotypes by this method.
