Abstract:
Microplate-array diagonal-gel electrophoresis (MADGE) was invented for molecular-genetic epidemiological studies. It combines direct compatibility with microplates, convenient polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis and economy of time and reagents at minimal capital cost, and enables one user to run up to several-thousand gel lanes per day for the direct assay of single-base variations. Melt-MADGE adds temporal-thermal-ramp apparatus to achieve similar throughput for de novo mutation scanning.
