Abstract excerpt
A simple method, primer specific and mispair extension analysis (PSMEA) with pfu DNA polymerase was developed for genotyping. PSMEA is based on the unique properties of 3'-->5' exonuclease proofreading activity. In the presence of an incomplete set of dNTPs, pfu was found to be extremely discrimi...
