Abstract excerpt
We extended our development of the means to measure point mutations at the DNA level to the problem of detecting TP53 gene variants in the area around tumors where mutant fractions are expected to be as low as one mutant per 1000 wild-type (WT) sequences. We met this criterion by using the following methods. The TP53 exon 8 sequence was amplified from genomic DNA samples under conditions of high polymerase...
