Abstract excerpt
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are becoming widely recognized as the new currency for gene mapping as increasing numbers are discovered. Here we outline a method for their rapid analysis based on an allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) which employs a competitive approach, whereby both allele-specific primers are present in the same reaction and carry different fluorescent labels. This...
