Abstract
Abstract A kit is disclosed for a method for detecting the presence of a target polynucleotide sequence. The kit comprises a first polynucleotide sequence and a second polynucleotide sequence complementary to non-contiguous portions of a target polynucleotide sequence, which first and second sequences are covalently attached when they are hybridized to the target sequence. The presence of the covalently attached first and second sequences is related to the presence of the target polynucleotide sequence. The invention may be applied to target polynucleotide sequences in DNA or RNA. Specific target polynucleotide sequences of interest will frequently be characteristic of particular microorganisms, viruses, viroids, or genetic characteristics, including genetic abnormalities.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
117 words
A kit for use in detecting a target polynucleotide sequence, which comprises in packaged combination: a first polynucleotide complementary to and capable of hybridizing to a portion of a single strand of a target polynucleotide and having, or capable of having, means for immobilizing said first polynucleotide, a second polynucleotide, having, or capable of having, a label wherein said second polynucleotide is complementary to and capable of hybridizing to a portion of said single strand of said target polynucleotide other than and non-contiguous with the portion complementary to said first polynucleotide, and means for covalently attaching said first and second polynucleotides when said first and second polynucleotides are hybridized with said single strand of said target polynucleotide.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
117 words
A kit for use in detecting a target polynucleotide sequence, which comprises in packaged combination: a first polynucleotide complementary to and capable of hybridizing to a portion of a single strand of a target polynucleotide and having, or capable of having, means for immobilizing said first polynucleotide, a second polynucleotide, having, or capable of having, a label wherein said second polynucleotide is complementary to and capable of hybridizing to a portion of said single strand of said target polynucleotide other than and non-contiguous with the portion complementary to said first polynucleotide, and means for covalently attaching said first and second polynucleotides when said first and second polynucleotides are hybridized with said single strand of said target polynucleotide.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
90 words
The kit of claim 1 wherein one of said first and said second polynucleotides is capable of undergoing an extension reaction in the presence of a polynucleotide polymerase and one or more deoxynucleoside triphosphates to become contiguous with the other of said first and said second polynucleotides when both first and second polynucleotides are hybridized to said single strand of said target polynucleotide, and said kit further comprises: a polynucleotide polymerase, one or more deoxynucleoside triphosphates, and a ligase as a means for covalently attaching said first and second polynucleotides.
