Single-strand conformation polymorphism-based genetic characterization of the <i>Cyclospora cayetanensis</i> strains collected from different provinces in Turkey

Single-strand conformation polymorphism-based analysis reveals genetic variation within Spirometra erinacei (Cestoda: Pseudophyllidea) from Australia.

This study examined genetic variability within Spirometra erinacei (Cestoda: Pseudophyllidea) from different host species and geographical origins in Australia using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based mutation detection approach, followed by DNA sequencing. Part of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 gene (p cox 1) was amplified by PCR, scanned for sequence variation by single-strand confor...

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 (...

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

Rapid identification of bacteria by PCR-single-strand conformation polymorphism.

A new molecular biological approach for the identification of bacteria is described. This approach employs PCR of bacterial cell lysates with conserved primers located in the 16S rRNA sequence flanking a variable region, and analysis of the amplified product was based on the principle of single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP). The PCR product was denatured and separated on a nondenaturi...

Technical challenges in applying capillary electrophoresis-single strand conformation polymorphism for routine genetic analysis.

Recent and future advances in population genetics will have a significant impact on health care practices and the economics of health care provision only if a spectrum of patient-tailored, effective methods of DNA screening for sequence alterations has been developed. Genetic screening by capillary electrophoresis-single strand conformation polymorphism (CE-SSCP), which is based upon the differ...
