Hybridisation probes

Abstract

A method for discriminating a specific base sequence from a variant base sequence comprises subjecting adjacent segments of a target base sequence to hybridisation with a detectable first nucleotide probe and with a second nucleotide probe to form a hybrid, the nucleotide sequence of the first and second probe being such that where they form a split probe hybrid with a complementary target sequence they may subsequently be linked, subjecting any hybrid obtained to linkage and detecting any hybrid obtained. Hybridisation probes and kits for use in such a method are also described.
