Target sequence Nucleic acid detection method, virus detection method, and virus detection kit

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a detection method capable of detecting a virus easily and at low cost in a short time. A method for detecting a target sequence nucleic acid in a genome, wherein the amplification step of amplifying the target sequence nucleic acid using the target sequence nucleic acid in the genome as a template sequence and the target sequence nucleic acid amplified by the amplification step are used. The detection step comprises a detection step of electrochemically detecting, in the presence of an oxidation-reducing substance that binds to a complementaryly binding double-stranded portion of the amplification product of the target sequence nucleic acid amplified in the amplification step. A method for detecting a target sequence nucleic acid, which is carried out by applying to the working electrode and the counter electrode and measuring the current between the two electrodes.
