Abstract excerpt
Previously, the smart amplification process version 2 (SMAP-2) was developed to detect mutations from tissue and in crude cell lysates and has been used for rapid diagnosis of specific somatic mutations with single-nucleotide precision. The purpose of this study was to develop a rapid and practical method to detect cancer and metastasis in specimens using the SMAP-2 assay. We developed modified SMAP-2 assays that...
