Abstract excerpt
The ligase detection reaction (LDR) is a highly specific genotyping method for single nucleotide variations. Although LDR typically discriminates single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) alleles at the 3' end of so-called LDR discriminating probes, we designed probes in which the position of nucleotide differences for discrimination was shifted to the second and third nucleotides from the 3' end. Using the...
