Abstract excerpt
Mutations are important markers in the early detection of cancer. Clinical specimens such as bodily fluid samples often contain a small percentage of mutated cells in a large background of normal cells. Thus, assays to detect mutations leading to cancer need to be highly sensitive and specific. In addition, they should be possible to carry out in an automated and high-throughput manner to allow large-scale...
