The present invention discloses methods for identifying and analysing microsatellite-associated polymorphisms between different DNA samples. Different DNA samples, e.g. from different individuals, are analysed using a PCR based on the combination of a RAMP-primer and an AFLP-primer and polymorphisms between the different DNA samples are identified. The polymorphisms thus identified may be isolated and further analysed by e.g. DNA sequence analysis both upstream and downstream from the microsatellite-associated polymorphism. These sequences may subsequently be used to devise and synthesise new means for analysis of the polymorphic locus, such as e.g. PCR-primer pairs or oligonucleotide probes.

The invention relates to a surface-enhanced Raman technology based on signal-off and used for detecting intracellular telomerase activity. According to the technology, graphene, carbon nitride, MoS2, SiO2 and the like are taken as carriers, nano-gole or nano-silver with controllable dimension and morphology or a composite magnetic nano-particle with a core-shell structure is supported by the carriers, and then a hairpin probe containing a telomerase primer and a Raman molecule beacon is fixedly disposed on the nano=particle surface, so that the high-sensitivity high-selectivity SERS detection method based on signal-off is established. When a target exists, the primer extends and generates a DNA chain with a repeat sequence under the effect of telomerase, and the DNA chain is hybridized with the probe molecule, then the DNA hairpin structure is opened, a Raman signal molecule with the single-chain labeled end is far away from a Raman substrate, the Raman signal is reduced, and high-sensitivity detection on telomerase is realized. The probe prepared by taking Hela cervical carcinoma cell as a model realizes intracellular telomerase activity detection and dynamic detection on intracellular telomerase activity variation under effect of a telomerase inhibiting medicament. By using multiple cells for imaging, the probe is confirmed to be capable of distinguishing tumor cells and normal cells.

The way to design a “filled” site (which contains an interspersed element) primer set to target a particular locus is to design one of the two primers such that it encompasses that unique information (e.g., interspersed element+flanking genomic sequence+direct repeat). The way to design an “empty” site primer is to design one of the two primers such that the entire direct repeat sequence in addition to flanking genomic sequence is included on both sides. To improve efficiency, the “empty” site primer designed around the direct repeat should not be too long. This primer design of the present invention allows for the ability to test any type of interspersed genetic element containing characteristic direct repeat sequences (direct repeats). This gives the option of many new polymorphic marker sites because Alu elements are not the only interspersed genetic elements having direct repeats flanking their core sequence.

Nucleic acid (e.g., DNA) hybridization probes are described which comprise a labeled, single copy nucleic acid which hybridizes to a deduced single copy sequence interval in target nucleic acid of known sequence. The probes, which are essentially free of repetitive sequences, can be used in hybridization analyses without adding repetitive sequence-blocking nucleic acids.
