Abstract

The present invention describes the formation of RecA protein catalyzed double-stranded probe:duplex linear target DNA complexes that are stable to deproteinization. The uses of this stable probe:target complex in diagnostic/DNA detection systems in in vitro and in situ DNA hybridization reactions is discussed. The probe:target complexes are also useful for diagnostic application in RecA protein facilitated DNA amplification reactions.
