Abstract excerpt
Dideoxy fingerprinting (ddF) is an efficient method for detecting single base and other sequence changes in PCR-amplified DNA segments. This screening method is a hybrid between single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis (SSCP) and Sanger dideoxy sequencing. It involves a Sanger sequencing reaction with one dideoxynucleotide followed by non-denaturing gel electrophoresis. We are using ddF to screen for...
