K-ras mutation detection in colorectal cancer using the Pyrosequencing technique.

Abstract excerpt

The identification of gene mutations is a critical goal for the assessment of diagnosis and prognosis in cancer disease, particularly by direct sequencing. Pyrosequencing is a straightforward, non-electrophoretic DNA sequencing method using the luciferase-luciferin light release as a signal for nucleotide incorporation into a PCR template DNA. In this study, we aimed to investigate mutations in the K-ras gene...
