Abstract excerpt
The protein truncation test is a useful method for identifying frameshift and nonsense mutations. The interpretation of real results is often made difficult by the presence of internally translated protein products and other nonspecific bands. To overcome these problems, the technique has been modified to include a myc reporter tag in the 5' primer used to amplify the genomic region of interest. The myc tag is...
