Abstract excerpt
To measure mutation load or to detect minimal residual disease, a robust method for identifying one mutant allele in the range of 10(6)-10(9) wild-type alleles would be advantageous. Herein, we present evidence that pyrophosphorolysis-activated polymerization (PAP) has the potential to provide a highly specific and robust method of allele-specific amplification if DNA polymerases with higher pyrophosphorolysis...
