Abstract excerpt
Since its introduction more than a decade ago, denaturing HPLC has been widely used to screen nuclear and mitochondrial DNA for mutations. We recently developed a quantitative method based on denaturing HPLC to measure DNA mutation load, using tRNA Leu(UUR) region of the mitochondrial DNA as an example. The mutation load is determined based on the quadratic function that governs DNA reannealing and the formation...
