Abstract:
An abasic site modified fluorescent probe has been developed which enabled the rapid discrimination of stable single mismatched base pairs by lambda exonuclease with remarkably high discrimination factors (447 for T:G and 238 for A:G). This method allowed sensitive detection of single nucleotide variation at very low abundances (0.02-0.05% mutant-to-wild type).
