Cycling temperature capillary electrophoresis: A quantitative, fast and inexpensive method to detect mutations in mixed populations of human mitochondrial DNA.

Abstract excerpt

Cycling temperature capillary electrophoresis has been optimised for mutation detection in 76% of the mitochondrial genome. The method was tested on a mixed sample and compared to mutation detection by next generation sequencing. Out of 152 fragments 90 were concordant, 51 discordant and in 11 were semi-concordant. Dilution experiments show that cycling capillary electrophoresis has a detection limit of 1-3%. The...
