The present application provides methods, compositions, and kits for analyzing a biological sample embedded in a three-dimensional polymerized matrix using a primer-exchange reaction (PER). In some embodiments, the methods comprise contacting the sample with a nucleic acid molecule that directly or indirectly binds to an analyte in the sample and immobilizing the nucleic acid molecule in the matrix, wherein the nucleic acid molecule comprises a free 3′ priming region for initiation of PER. In some embodiments, the methods enable sensitive detection of the identity and relative position of analytes in the sample.

The present invention relates to a method for determining presence of a pre-determined nucleic acid sequence in a sample, the method comprising the steps of adding one or more enzyme(s) providing activities of RNA- and/or DNA-dependent DNA polymerase activity and strand-displacement activity to the sample to be analysed for the presence of the pre-determined nucleic acid sequence; adding at least five DNA primers to the sample to be analysed for the presence of the pre-determined nucleic acid sequence, wherein at least one DNA primer comprises a sequence hybridisable to the nucleic acid sequence and at least one DNA primer comprises a sequence hybridisable to the DNA sequence reverse-complementary to the nucleic acid sequence; incubating the sample resulting at a fixed temperature; determining whether a double-stranded elongated DNA sequence is present in the sample, wherein presence of the double-stranded elongated DNA sequence in the sample is indicative of the presence of the pre-determined nucleic acid sequence in the sample, wherein the pre-determined nucleic acid sequence is of a bacterium of the Mollicutes class and wherein no F3 primer is used.
