Abstract excerpt
Simple, inexpensive and wide-scaled analysis of single DNA base changes ('point mutations' which include SNP's, somatic mutations and epigenetic changes) is one of the holy grail's of point-of-care diagnostics. Herein, we present eLCR: a simple methodology that fuses Ligase Chain Reaction (LCR) with electrochemical detection based on DNA-mediated charge transport. LCR generates long and short "knife" motifs...
