Description

Mutation detection is increasingly undertaken in a wide spectrum of research areas: in medicine it is fundamental in isolating disease genes and diagnbosis, and is especially important in cancer research; in biology, commercially important genes can be identified by the mutations they contain. But mutation detection is time-consuming and expensive. This volume offers the latest tried and tested protocols for a range of detection methods, from the labs of the leading researchers in the field.

Table of Contents

  • 1. Single strand conformation polymorphism analysis
  • 2. Single-stranded conformation polymorphism and heteroduplex analysis
  • 3. Comprehensive mutation detection with denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis
  • 4. Cleavage using RNase to detect mutations
  • 5. Cleavage of mismatched bases using chemical reagents
  • 6. Mutation detection using T4 endonuclease VII
  • 7. Detection of mutations by hybridization with sequence-specific oligonucleotide probes
  • 8. DNA detection and sequence distinction through oligonucleotide ligation
  • 9. Detection of sequence variation using primer extension
  • 10. Selective amplification of specific alleles
  • 11. The protein truncation text (PTT)
  • 12. Functional assay of the p53 tumour suppressor gene
  • 13. Advances in direct DNA sequencing for mutation scanning
