A method of identifying a polynucleic acid (PNA) is presented, including the steps of providing a PNA; modifying one or more nucleobases of the PNA by addition or removal of a hydrogen bonding partner, thereby altering the base pairing capacity of the one or more nucleobases; base pairing a complementary nucleic acid to the PNA, including base pairing to at least one modified nucleobase; identifying the sequence of the complementary nucleic acid at least at the position that is complementary to at least one modified nucleobase.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods for modification and detection of methylated nucleotides. Embodiments are directed to detection of RNA methylation. Disclosed are methods and compositions for transcriptome-wide detection of N.sup.6-methyladenosine in mRNA. In some cases, methods for modifying a methylated nitrogenous base are described. Also disclosed are enzymes and other molecules useful for RNA methylation detection.

Provided is multiplex and asymmetric amplification of nucleic acid molecules. In particular, provided is a method for simultaneous and asymmetric amplification of one or more target nucleic acids in a sample. The method can simultaneously and asymmetrically amplify multiple target nucleic acids existing in a sample, and can simultaneously produce large number of single stranded products.

Provided is a labeling method for nucleic acid including a reaction step for hybridizing a nucleic acid probe that has a nucleotide sequence complementary to that of a nucleic acid to be labeled and contains a reactive nucleobase derivative incorporated at a position complementary to that of a target nucleobase as a target of labeling in the nucleic acid to be labeled, to the nucleic acid to be labeled; a transferring step for transferring a transfer group contained in the reactive nucleobase derivative to the nucleotide residue containing the target nucleobase in the nucleic acid to be labeled; and a labeling step for labeling the transfer group transferred to the nucleotide residue with a radioactive material.
