Abstract excerpt
Analysis of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in mitochondrial (mt)DNA hypervariable regions (HV) 1/2 is valuable in forensic investigations. We developed a method for mtDNA screening of the HV1 and HV2 regions by melting curve analysis, using peptide nucleic acid (PNA) probes. This method focuses on melting peak patterns obtained by thermal dissociation of PNA/DNA duplexes in amplified mtDNA products. Five...
