Abstract

The present invention relates to a process for detecting the presence of at least one specific nucleic acid sequence in a sample containing a nucleic acid or a mixture of nucleic acids by amplifying the nucleic acid using polymerase chain reaction, cleaving the amplified products with uracil DNA glycosylase to obtain short DNA segments and detecting the DNA fragments by using reverse blot hybridization.
