ABSTRACT:
The invention provides compositions, kits and methods of generating a signal indicative of the presence of a target nucleic acid sequence in a sample by forming a cleavage structure. The cleavage structure is formed by incubating a sample containing a target nucleic acid with a downstream probe that forms a 3′ flap when hybridized to the target. The cleavage structure is cleaved with a 3′ nuclease and a detectable signal is produced.
