Abstract excerpt
Mismatch repair detection (MRD) is an in vivo method that uses a change in bacterial colony color to detect DNA sequence variation. DNA fragments to be screened for variation are cloned into two MRD plasmids, and bacteria are transformed with heteroduplexes of these constructs. The resulting colonies are blue in the absence of a mismatch and white in the presence of a mismatch. MRD is capable of detecting a...
