Abstract

Processes are disclosed using the depolymerization of a nucleic acid hybrid to qualitatively and quantitatively analyze for the presence of predetermined nucleic acid target sequences using a multiplex assay format. Applications of those processes include the detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms, identification of single base changes, speciation, genotyping, medical marker diagnostics, and the like.
