Abstract excerpt
We have developed a rapid and simple method for determining accurately the proportions of alleles or individual malaria clones in a mixed infection. The technique uses a nested PCR reaction to amplify, from parasite mixtures, alleles of genes differing by single nucleotide polymorphisms, simultaneously, using common primers to non-polymorphic sequences. The mixed products are sequenced, and the heights of...
