In the February issue of Bioconjugate Chemistry, we report the development of luminescent probes for the detection of nucleic acids

In collaboration with our colleagues Soumitesh Chakravorty and David Alland, we developed an assay which utilizes sloppy molecular beacon probes for the identification of more than 110 different pathogenic bacterial genotypes
