Abstract

A method for detecting nucleic acids by binding a probe P to a partial sequence S contained in the nucleic acid to produce a binding product B1, degrading the nucleic acid to produce a binding product B2 containing a partial nucleic acid F of a defined length and detecting the binding product B2 or the partial nucleic acid F a part based on its mass is particularly suitable for the parallel detection of nucleic acid of different sequences.
