Abstract excerpt
The Enzymatic Mutation Detection (EMDtrade mark) method is a streamlined and improved version of the original Enzymatic Cleavage of Mismatch (EMC) method. EMD is a fully homogeneous, rapid four step procedure that allows for detection and localization of mismatched or unmatched nucleotides within heteroduplex DNA. To test the utility of EMD for use in the screening of large and complex genes, the fibrillin 1...
