Abstract
The present invention relates to methods that utilize multi-component nucleic acid complex (MNA complex) cascades. The MNA complexes may have cleavage or ligase activity. Further, the invention provides cascades which may include one or more DNAzymes. The invention also provides methods which use these cascades for the identification, detection and quantification of targets.
