SNP Genotyping - Hybridization-based Methods

Hybridization-based Methods

Several applications have been developed that interrogate SNPs by hybridizing complementary DNA probes to the SNP site. The challenge of this approach is reducing cross-hybridization between the allele-specific probes. This challenge is generally overcome by manipulating the hybridization stringency conditions.

Famous quotes containing the word methods:
