Abstract excerpt
We describe a novel assay capable of accurately determining the length of short tandem repeat (STR) alleles. STR genotyping is achieved utilizing RecA-mediated ligation (RML), which combines the high fidelity of RecA-mediated homology searching with allele-specific ligation. RecA catalyzes the pairing of synthetic oligonucleotides with one strand of a double-stranded DNA target, in this case a PCR amplicon....
