Abstract excerpt
The 1.8-kb beta-globin gene fragments of DNAs from individuals heterozygous for nine different beta-thalassemia mutations involving 1, 2, 3, 4, or 25 basepair (bp) insertions or deletions were amplified by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The PCR products were subjected to electrophoresis on...
