    摘要: An asynchronous thermal cycling protocol for nucleic acid amplification uses two primers with thermal melting temperatures different by about 10 to 30° C. After the higher melting primer has annealed and polymerase mediated extension, the uncopied, single-stranded target sequence may be hybridized and detected by a probe. DNA probes may be cleaved by the exonuclease activity of a polymerase. The probe may be a non-cleaving analog such as PNA. When a probe is labelled with a reporter dye and a quencher selected to undergo energy transfer, e.g. FRET, fluorescence from the reporter dye may be effectively quenched when the probe is unbound. Upon hybridization of the probe to complementary target or upon cleavage while bound to target, the reporter dye is no longer quenched, resulting in a detectable amount of fluorescence. The second, lower-melting primer may be annealed and extended to generate a double-stranded nucleic acid. Amplification may be monitored in real time, including each cycle, or at the end point. The asynchronous PCR thermal cycling protocol can generate a preponderance of the PCR amplicon in single-stranded form by repetition at the end of the protocol of annealing and extension of the higher melting primer.

    摘要: The invention relates to methods for determining sequence information in polynucleotides by combining the recent disparate technologies of mass spectrometry and polynucleotide hybridization, amplification, extension and/or ligation techniques. Broadly, in a first step, the method for determining sequence information in a sample polynucleotide includes hybridizing with a sample nucleotide one or a mixture of oligonucleotide probes having a nucleotide sequence complementary to a portion of the sample polynucleotide, thereby forming a complex. Then, in a second step, the complex is contacted with at least a member selected from the group consisting of nucleosides, dideoxynucleosides, polymerases, nucleases, transcriptases, ligases and restriction enzymes to alter at least a subset of said oligonucleotide probes. In a third step, the method provides for determining the molecular weight of at least the subset of altered probes by mass spectrometry and infering the sequence information of the sample polynucleotide therefrom.
