Abstract excerpt
Up to 15% of all colorectal cancers are considered to be replication error positive (RER(+)) and contain mutations at hundreds of thousands of microsatellite repeat sequences. Recently, a number of intragenic mononucleotide repeat sequences have been demonstrated to be targets for inactivating genes in RER(+)colorectal tumors. In this study, thermostable DNA ligases were tested for the ability to detect...
