ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a method for efficiently detecting double-stranded nucleic acids. More particularly, this invention relates to a method for reducing signals derived from an intercalator bound to a single-stranded nucleic acid, wherein a compound that reacts more preferentially with an intercalator bound to a single-stranded nucleic acid than with an intercalator bound to a double-stranded nucleic acid or a compound that is bound to a single-stranded nucleic acid more strongly than an intercalator and is bound to a double-stranded nucleic acid more weakly than an intercalator is added to a mixture comprising double-stranded and single-stranded nucleic acids both having intercalators bound thereto, thereby reducing signals derived from an intercalator bound to a single-stranded nucleic acid.
