XbaI diestion of PCR products

[Raymond Dalgleish]

The SNP definitely IS heterozygous. I know that the digest is incomplete by
density scanning the bands on the gel. There is too much undigested DNA
fragment. It's not due to the formation of heteroduplexes during the late
cycles of the PCR because the same fragment contains a PvuII site which
digests to completion eevn when it too is in the heterozygous state (and on
the same allele as the XbaI site).
