Patent ID: 8802838

Claim:
A composition comprising: a polynucleotide polymer comprising a plurality of oligonucleotides joined together in a sequence corresponding to the nucleotide sequence of a target polynucleotide, wherein one or more oligonucleotides in the polynucleotide polymer correspond to one or more predetermined nucleotide bases of the target polynucleotide; a plurality of quenchable fluorescent probes, each quenchable fluorescent probe comprising a nucleotide sequence, a fluorophore and a quencher, wherein: each quenchable fluorescent probe is only hybridized to one of the oligonucleotides in the polynucleotide polymer; and each of the fluorophores, except a fluorophore of one of the terminal quenchable fluorescent probes, is quenched by a quencher of an adjacent quenchable fluorescent probe.
