Novel polymorphism in the porcine Apolipoprotein B gene detected by single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis.

Carrier Determination in a Hemophilia B Family Using Single Strand Conformation Polymorphism (SSCP) and Sequencing

Allelic losses of chromosome 10 in glioma tissues detected by quantitative single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis.

BACKGROUND Detection of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in clinical tissue samples is frequently difficult because samples are usually contaminated with noncancerous cells or because tumor cells in single tissues have genetic heterogeneity, and the precision of available techniques is insufficient for reliable analysis in such materials. We hypothesized that single-strand conformation polymorphism...

Mutation Detection by Single Strand Conformation Polymorphism and Heteroduplex Analysis

Single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) and heteroduplex analysis (HDA) are two of the most popular electrophoresis-based mutation detection methods. Coupled to DNA amplification of the sequence to be analyzed, these techniques have become the methods of choice for a number of molecular diagnostic laboratories. This can be explained mainly by the numerous advantages, namely their technic...

allelic polymorphism of makoei sheep calpastatin gene identified by polymerase chain reaction and single strand conformation polymorphism

calpastatin (cast) is a specific inhibiter of calpains, playing a role in meat tenderization and myogenesis. in the present study, the polymorphism of the cast gene of makoei sheep was investigated by polymerase chain reaction and single strand conformation polymorphism technique (pcr–sscp). genomic dna was extracted from whole blood samples collected from 100 sheep. a 622 bp cast exon 1 segmen...

Genetic Polymorphism at the Growth Hormone Locus in Iranian Talli Goats by Polymerase Chain Reaction-Single Strand Conformation Polymorphism (PCR-SSCP)

The growth hormone gene could be an attractive candidate gene for milk production in goats. Single-strand conformation polymorphism was used to identify polymorphism at the goat growth hormone (gGH) gene. For this purpose, genotyping of 90 Talli goat breeds was performed. Nine conformational patterns were observed in exon 4 of the gGH gene, with frequencies of 27.7% for the homozygous pattern (...
