Abstract:
A concise survey of the emerging PD-loop technology is presented, which outlines several exemplary methods with robust DNA diagnostic potential: duplex DNA capture, topological DNA labeling, nondenaturing DNA sequencing and hybridization of molecular beacons to double-stranded DNA. Advantages of these new PNA-based assays over existing techniques for sequence-specific detection and manipulation of DNA duplexes are discussed. Future prospects for the further development of PD-loop technology are highlighted.
