Abstract

The present invention relates to improved methods for probing of specific nucleic acids using circularizable probes designed such that they report the presence of a target sequence by allowing a detectable moiety to remain bound if an only if the probe has been cyclized in a target-dependent linking reaction. The invention may be used for distinction between sequence specific variations of nucleic acids.
