Abstract excerpt
The specificity and reliability of locked nucleic acid (LNA) substitution at the 3' position of allele-specific PCR (AS-PCR) primers for SNP detection was investigated in direct comparison to DNA primers. Both plasmid and human genomic DNA templates were examined in this study. All possible DNA and 3' LNA mismatch combinations were tested in triplicate with the plasmid target. LNA primers yield consistently low...
