Zusammenfassung:A method of identifying a first target nucleic acid comprising, providing a sample comprising the first target nucleic acid, providing a first set of paired oligonucleotides with complementarity to the first target nucleic acid, the first set of paired oligonucleotides comprising a first ratio of (a) first competitive oligonucleotides to (b) first signal oligonucleotides comprising a signal tag, wherein the competitive oligonucleotides compete with the signal oligonucleotides for binding to the first target nucleic acid, amplifying the first target nucleic acid with the polymerase chain reaction, thereby degrading the first signal oligonucleotide and permitting generation of a first signal, generating the first signal, measuring intensity of the first signal, and correlating the intensity of the first signal to the first ratio, thereby identifying the first target nucleic acid.
