Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide a method for detecting a target nucleotide sequence using a complementary nucleotide sequence that has an excellent sensitivity of detection. The method comprises the steps of converting the target nucleotide sequence to a partially double-stranded nucleotide sequence which is double-stranded at one part and single-stranded in the remaining part and detecting said partially double stranded nucleotide sequence using a nucleotide sequence that is complementary to the target nucleotide sequence.
