Abstract

See full text

The present invention provides a method for detecting and/or quantifying the presence of, and relative abundance of, methylated nucleic acid bases within double-stranded nucleic acid by i) contacting a double-stranded nucleic acid sample with an intercalating fluorescent dye when bound to the nucleic acid sample fluoresces when exposed to light of a wavelength capable of causing the dye to fluoresce; 2) altering the hybridisation conditions of the solution containing the double-stranded nucleic acid-dye complex such that dissociation of the two strands of the said nucleic acid-dye complex occurs at a rate that permits progressive release of the dye 3) and monitoring the difference in fluorescence, and uses thereof.
