Accurate guanine:cytosine discrimination in T4 DNA ligase-based single nucleotide polymorphism analysis using an oxanine-containing ligation fragment.

Abstract excerpt

T4 DNA ligase-based mismatch detection methods have been proposed as useful strategies for single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analyses. However, there is a critical problem for cytosine/thymine (C/T) SNP analyses: guanine:thymine (G:T) mismatch is not distinguished from guanine:cytosine (G:C). Here we employed chemically modified nucleobases, such as oxanine and hypoxanthine, at the end of a ligation fragment...
