Title: Method of identifying hairpin DNA probes by partial fold analysis

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1176186
;

Methods of identifying molecular beacons in which a secondary structure prediction algorithm is employed to identify oligonucleotide sequences within a target gene having the requisite hairpin structure. Isolated oligonucleotides, molecular beacons prepared from those oligonucleotides, and their use are also disclosed.
