ABSTRACT:
Discrimination between RNAs which differ by as little as a single nucleotide is accomplished by having an excess of unlabeled non-complementary oligonucleotide present during hybridization with a labeled complementary nucleotide. The non-complementary oligonucleotide blocks hybridization of the labeled complementary oligonucleotide sequence without affecting hybridization of the labeled complementary oligonucleotide to the complementary sequence. The label may be an isotope, a fluorescent group or of any other type. The technique permits examination of the transcription of highly related allelic and non-allelic genes present in the same cell and the quantification of such transcripts by use of appropriate internal control. The technique is also useful in oligonucleotide hybridization to DNA sequences which differ only by a single nucleotide.
