Abstract excerpt
It has been well known for decades that deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) polymerases with proofreading function have a higher fidelity in primer extension as compared to those without 3' exonuclease activities. However, polymerases with proofreading function have not been used in single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) assays. Here, we describe a new method for single-base discrimination by proofreading the 3'...
