Abstract excerpt
In a previous study, a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) diagnostic system named the SMart Amplification Process version 2 (SMAP 2) was reported, which enabled rapid gene diagnostics from crude samples such as whole blood. The asymmetric primer design and use of Taq MutS were reported as innovative background suppression technologies employed by SMAP 2, but Taq MutS is known to display differential affinities...
