Abstract

The present invention provides novel cleavage agents and polymerases for the cleavage and modification of nucleic acid. The cleavage agents and polymerases find use, for example, for the detection and characterization of nucleic acid sequences and variations in nucleic acid sequences. In some embodiments, the 5′ nuclease activity of a variety of enzymes is used to cleave a target-dependent cleavage structure, thereby indicating the presence of specific nucleic acid sequences or specific variations thereof.

Claims (5)

1. A kit comprising a composition comprising the recombinant polypeptide of SEQ ID NO:2668.

2. The kit of claim 1 , further comprising at least one nucleic acid cleavage substrate.

3. The kit of claim 2 , further comprising at least one RNA capable of hybridizing to said nucleic acid cleavage substrate.

4. The kit of claim 2 , further comprising a labeled oligonucleotide.

5. The kit of claim 2 , further comprising an invasive oligonucleotide.
