OLIGONUCLEOTIDE PROBE FOR DETECTING SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE POLYMORPHISMS, AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING CIS-TRANS CONFIGURATION

摘要

A probe comprising a reporter region for detecting a first single nucleotide polymorphism, an anchor region for detecting a second single nucleotide polymorphism, and a linker region is disclosed. The reporter region comprises an oligonucleotide consisting of a sequence perfectly matching with the first target sequence, and a fluorescent dye that quenches when hybridized to the first target sequence where the first single nucleotide polymorphism is present. The anchor region comprises an oligonucleotide consisting of a sequence perfectly matching with a second target sequence where the second single nucleotide polymorphism is present. A length of the oligonucleotide of the reporter region is shorter than a length of the oligonucleotide of the anchor region.
