SNP Genotyping - Other Post-amplification Methods Based On Physical Properties of DNA

Other Post-amplification Methods Based On Physical Properties of DNA

The characteristic DNA properties of melting temperature and single stranded conformation have been used in several applications to distinguish SNP alleles. These methods very often achieve high specificity but require highly optimized conditions to obtain the best possible results.

    “All good conversation, manners, and action, come from a spontaneity which forgets usages, and makes the moment great. Nature hates calculators; her methods are saltatory and impulsive.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Any reductionist program has to be based on an analysis of what is to be reduced. If the analysis leaves something out, the problem will be falsely posed.”
    —Thomas Nagel (b. 1938)

    “The vast material displacements the machine has made in our physical environment are perhaps in the long run less important than its spiritual contributions to our culture.”
    —Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)

    “A drop of water has the properties of the sea, but cannot exhibit a storm. There is beauty of a concert, as well as of a flute; strength of a host, as well as of a hero.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Here [in London, history] ... seemed the very fabric of things, as if the city were a single growth of stone and brick, uncounted strata of message and meaning, age upon age, generated over the centuries to the dictates of some now all-but-unreadable DNA of commerce and empire.”
    —William Gibson (b. 1948)
