Abstract excerpt
We have developed the population tube (poptube) system for sensitive detection and large-scale sampling of DNA sequence variation in several human populations of wide geographic distribution. In this methodology, genomic DNAs from five individuals in a population are PCR amplified en masse to maximize deliberately the chances of forming heteroduplexes among allelic variants. Interpopulation mixing is performed in...
