The ability of peptide nucleic acid (PNA) to open up duplex DNA in a highly sequence-specific manner makes it possible to detect short DNA sequences on the background of or within genomic DNA under non-denaturing conditions. To do so, chosen marker sites in double-stranded DNA are locally opened by a pair of PNA openers, thus transforming one strand within the target region (20-30 bp) into the single-stranded form. Onto this accessible DNA sequence a circular oligonucleotide probe is assembled, which serves as a template for rolling circle amplification (RCA). Both homogeneous and heterogeneous assay formats are investigated, as are different formats for fluorescence-based amplicon detection. Our recent data with immobilized analytes suggest that marker sequences in plasmid and bacterial chromosomal DNA can be successfully detected. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
