Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for amplifying and detecting a target nucleic acid in a sample, said target nucleic comprising subgroups with sequence variations and/or individual mutations, wherein an amplification of the nucleic acids in said sample is carried out. This amplification involves a polymerase, primers for generating an amplicon and at least two detectable probes specific for different sequence portions of said amplicon. Detection of the obtained amplicon is brought about by detecting hybridization of the probes mentioned above to said different sequence portions of the amplicon. The invention further provides reaction mixtures and kits for amplifying and detecting a target nucleic acid comprising subgroups with sequence variations and/or individual mutations involving the use of at least two detectable probes specific for different sequence portions of an amplicon.
