Abstract:
In this paper, we report a new method for the SNP analysis by using a chemical ligation (CL) technique on CPG plates with high coupling efficiency. This method showed markedly high match/mismatch discrimination ability. Particularly, replacement of thymidine with 2-thiothymidine in DNA probes used in the CL technology resulted in significant improvement of the base discrimination ability of the thymine base in this system.

Labeling DNA Probes
Radioisotopes, fluorophores, or small molecule binding partners like biotin or digoxigenin, are the most widely used reporter tags for labeling DNA probes. These labels can be attached to the probe DNA molecule via...
