Abstract

Methods for rapidly detecting clinically relevant mutations in the infectious genome of an agent are disclosed. The methods include use of a novel target and temperature dependent RNase H mediated cleavage of blocked DNA primers to initiate isothermal helicase-dependent amplification of a target sequence such as a sequence in the rpoB gene.
