Abstract
The present invention, in different aspects and embodiments, provides nucleic acid amplification and detection methods that are both sensitive and fast. In various aspects there are disclosed amplification methods employing different combinations of primers to which can achieve exponential amplification and strand displacement, such as to generate a more than two fold increase of the amount of a target nucleic acid sequence during repeated cycles, while additionally permitting the production of single stranded products. Also provided are detection systems and kits.
