Abstract excerpt
This study reports the development of a microarray-based allele-specific extension method for typing of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). The use of allele-specific primers has been employed previously to identify single base variations but it is acknowledged that certain mismatches are not refractory to extension. Here we have overcome this limitation by introducing apyrase, a nucleotide-degrading enzyme,...
