Effect of electrophoretic conditions on single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) pattern.

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

F-SSCP: fluorescence-based polymerase chain reaction-single-strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) analysis.

A fluorescence-based method for polymerase chain reaction-single-strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) analysis, F-SSCP, was developed in which the target sequence is amplified by the PCR using fluorescent primers. The amplified products are then heat-denatured and applied to a water-jacket controlled gel in an automated DNA sequencer. The separated strands are detected as laser-excited f...

non-radioactive single-strand conformation polymorphism (sscp) analysis of relatively long pcr products

the sscp technique is based on the appearance of new “refolding” conformations during electro-phoresis due to mutation. in order to develop a simple, non-radioactive sscp analysis method so that it can reliably detect single nucleotide changes in pcr products up to 500 bp in length, extensive optimisation trials were performed . the best separation of sscp bands of pcr products up to 500 bp in ...

PCR-based Single-strand Conformation Polymorphism (SSCP) Analysis to Clone Nine Aquaporin Genes in Cucumber

Combining the use of PCR and single-strand conformation polymorphisms (SSCP), nine sequences from the cucumber genome were successfully identified and cloned that encoded two well-conserved asparagine-proline-alanine (NPA) domain homologues to aquaporin genes. The sensitivity and detection efficiency of SSCP and restriction enzyme analysis for detecting DNA sequence variation were evaluated usi...

Screening for mutations by RNA single-strand conformation polymorphism (rSSCP): comparison with DNA-SSCP.

Single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) is a simple method for detecting the presence of mutations in a segment of DNA, but the fraction of all mutations detected is unclear. We have evaluated SSCP for the detection of single-base mutations in the factor IX gene. Multiple conditions were examined including electrophoresis temperature, electrophoresis buffer concentration, acrylamide to b...
