Abstract excerpt
Model single base extension (SBE) genotyping reactions with individual deoxy-, dideoxy- and acyclonucleoside triphosphates are monitored by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Three non-proofreading DNA polymerases display remarkably high misincorporation (up to 64% of correct incorporation) when extending primers with single substrates at saturating concentrations. Introduction of one phosphorothioate (PS) linkage into...
