| abstract |
The invention relates to a method for detecting a nucleic acid of an organism in a composition, comprising the steps of, (i) amplifying the nucleic acid to be detected, (ii) during or after amplification, hybridizing to said nucleic acid to be detected a first probe that comprises an abasic site additionally optionally carrying a detectable label, (iii) wherein the position of the abasic site corresponds to a position in said nucleic acid to be detected, known to have a polymorphism in said organism, and wherein said nucleic acid is detected if hybridization occurs. |
