Mutation detection in DNA fragments

[Bruno Cenni]

Costs aside (happy who really can ignore them...) ist also depends a lot
whether you are looking for a specific, known and frequent mutation. Then
Real Time PCR methods or single nucleotide extensions would be good. If you
have to look at whole stretches of genes then you'd rather go for a
screening with SSCP or EMC (enzyme mismatch cleavage) or others and then
confirm by sequencing.

Cheers

Bruno
