    摘要: The invention is directed to a method for detecting RNA, DNA or protein target sequences by
    a) Hybridizing a library of probes having the general formula (I)

             P - (CL-D) x      (I)

    With
    P: probes having at least 10 nucleotides or amino acids
    CL: cleavable linker
    D: fluorescent dye
    X: integer between 1 and 5

    to RNA, DNA or protein target sequences wherein the library comprises probes P having different sequences of nucleotides or amino acids and cleavable linkers CL of different groups which are cleavable with different means

    b) Removing unhybridized probes and detecting the hybridized probes via the fluorophores D by a first image
    c) Cleaving sequentially by different means each group of chemical linkers CL from the hybridized probes; removing the thus cleaved fluorophores D and detecting the remaining hybridized probes via their fluorophores D by a second image
    d) Detecting the removed fluorophores D by comparing the first and second image.
    e) Obtaining a part of the sequence information of the target sequences via the sequence information of the probes P associated with the removed fluorophores D
    f) Repeating step c) until all groups of chemical linkers CL are cleaved.
