Abstract
This invention provides a hairpin-shaped nucleic acid probe which is capable of forming stable hybrid with target nucleic acid, and a method for detecting nucleic acid containing a sequence complementary to a part of sequence of the probe. After contacting RecA to a hairpin-shaped single strand probe for hybridization, this complex is contacted with a target nucleic acid to form a triplex recombination intermediate using RecA function. After ligating the probe and the target nucleic acid, the target nucleic acid is detected by the label on the probe.
