Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for the determination of a nucleic acid sequence by physical manipulation. In particular, the said method comprises the steps of denaturing a double-stranded nucleic acid molecule corresponding to the said nucleic acid sequence by applying a physical force to the said molecule; and detecting a blockage of the renaturation of the double-stranded nucleic acid molecule. More specifically, the method comprises the steps of denaturing a double-stranded nucleic acid molecule corresponding to the said nucleic acid sequence by applying a physical force to the said molecule; providing a single-stranded nucleic acid molecule; renaturing the said double stranded nucleic acid molecule in the presence of the said single-stranded nucleic acid molecule; and detecting a blockage of the renaturation of the double-stranded nucleic acid.
