Popis: A rapid recognition in the base sequence of nucleic acids is an important prerequisite toward the diagnosis of genetic diseases and their carrier states. We have developed a hybridisation method in which a fluorescently labeled oligonucleotide is used to detect point mutations in a target by a simple fluorescence lifetime analysis of the emission of the fluorescent label. We applied this method to detect the deltaF508 mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene in a model system and with biologically derived PCR product and discuss the potential generality of this method.
