Abstract excerpt
Methods that detect rare base substitutions within populations of DNA molecules are valuable tools for studying the DNA-damaging effects of chemicals and for pool screening for single-nucleotide polymorphisms. Allele-specific competitive blocker-polymerase chain reaction (ACB-PCR) uses a mutant-specific PCR primer with more 3'-terminal mismatches to an abundant or wild-type sequence than to a rare or mutant...
