Abstract excerpt
A powerful, cost-effective new method for studying single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) is described. This method is based on the use of hairpin-shaped primers (HP), which give a sensitive and specific PCR amplification of each specific allele, without the use of costly fluorophore-labeled probes and any post-PCR manipulation. The amplification is monitored in real-time using SYBR Green I dye and takes only 2 h...
