Abstract
A process for detecting specific nucleotide sequences, called targets, in which a special DNA probe molecule, called a probe-vector, is capable of transforming bacteria if and only if it is held in a circular configuration by base pairing to a target nucleic acid, said transformation resulting in the detection of a phenotype specified by the probe-vector, said detection establishing the presence, absence, or quantity of the target; and a probe-vector molecule for performing the process.
