Rolling circle amplification using PNA openers (red) to invade a dsDNA target forming a P-loop. A padlock DNA probe (blue) can bind to the DNA liberated by the PNA openers. Ligase circularizes the padlock DNA resulting in an earring complex which acts as a primer for DNA polymerase. The resulting rolling circle amplification product (orange) can then be isolated or detected in solution.
