Abstract

See full text

A method for detecting the presence or absence of a polymorphism at a particular position within a nucleic acid sequence in a sample, said method comprising i) annealing a pair of probes to said nucleic acid sequence, said probes being designed such that they anneal adjacent each other, and only completely anneal to one form of the sequence, in a reaction mixture which is substantially free of ATP; ii) ligating together any completely annealed pairs of probes in the presence of NAD and a nucleic acid ligase which uses NAD as a substrate/ iii) phosphorylating any AMP released by a ligation event to ATP, and iv) detecting ATP, in particular using a bioluminescent reaction, in the resultant reaction mixture. Kits for conducting this method are also described and claimed.
