Abstract excerpt
Standard fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) techniques using cloned probes are limited in their ability to distinguish between closely similar DNA sequences because long hybridization probes are not detectably destabilized by single mismatched base pairs. This problem has been addressed by using short allele-specific oligonucleotide probes whose hybridization to target sequences is more sensitive to...
