Analytical methods and materials for nucleic acid detection
 Mass spectrometric, absorbance spectroscopic and fluorescence spectroscopic processes are disclosed to detect the depolymerization of a nucleic acid hybrid in order to qualitatively and quantitatively assay for the presence of a predetermined nucleic acid target. Applications of those processes include the detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms, identification of single base changes, speciation, determination of viral load, genotyping, medical marker diagnostics, and the like, including multiplexed assays.
