Genotyping Zebrafish Point Mutant by Allele-Specific Blocking PCR.

Abstract excerpt

Genotyping zebrafish carrying wild-type, heterozygous, or homozygous copies of a mutant allele is often required for investigating gene specific functions, and is routinely performed to differentiate point mutants. In this study, we describe a modified allele-specific PCR method using an additional blocking primer to promote target sequence amplification while suppressing sequences with single mismatch. Using the...
