Described is an assay termed Programmable Enzyme-Assisted Selective Exponential Amplification (PASEA) that concurrently amplifies both wild type and mutant alleles while selectively cleaving the former. With time, the rare mutant alleles dominate, and are readily detectable by direct detection, Sanger sequencing, and other readily available methods. Also described are point-of-care assays and microfluidic devices for performing PASEA.
