Summary:Methods for detection of nucleic acids such as a cDNA copy of an mRNA are disclosed. The methods comprise using a PCR to form a preamplification product which comprises cDNA sequence as well as primer target sequences and a detection probe sequence, which are introduced by the forward and reverse primers. In a second PCR, preamplification product is amplified using universal primers which hybridize to the primer target sequences or their complements. Amplification can be detected using a detection probe that hybridizes to the detection probe sequence or its complement.
