Abstract
Detection probes and a method of detection for the detection of a specimen having a specified sequence in a sample are disclosed that utilize two fluorophore-labeled (donor and acceptor) probes which are designed to display changes in a fluorescence decay curve by their hybridization to the specific sequence of a specimen, thus allowing for the detection with great accuracy and high sensitivity, particularly under the conditions where the probes may be abundant relative to the specimen in the sample.
