Abstract
Processes are disclosed using the depolymerization of a nucleic acid hybrid to qualitatively and quantitatively analyze for the presence of a predetermined exogenous nucleic acid. Applications of those processes include the detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms, identification of single base changes, determination of viral load, genotyping, medical marker diagnostics, and the like.
