Abstract

The present invention provides novel cleavage agents for the cleavage and modification of nucleic acid. The cleavage agents find use, for example, for the detection and characterization of nucleic acid sequences and variations in nucleic acid sequences. In some embodiments, an endonuclease activity is used to cleave a target-dependent cleavage structure, thereby indicating the presence of specific nucleic acid sequences or specific variations thereof.
