A method for detecting specific DNA sequences and discriminating single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) using fluorescently labelled oligonucleotide probes is disclosed. Oligonucleotide probes are labelled with a reporter molecule preferentially attached to an internal nucleotide residue. The fluorescence...http://www.google.de/patents/US20040091864?utm_source=gb-gplus-sharePatent US20040091864 - Hybridisation beacon and method of rapid sequence detection and discrimination
