In this study, Substitution at codon Ser315 of katG gene, a reliable marker for isoniazid (INH) resistance was analyzed and compared by three molecular methods such as DNA  sequencing, polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and PCR-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) in 105 phenotypically resistant isolates obtained from various parts of Ind...

A total of 173 samples obtained from adult patients with de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML) were assayed for exon 3 PTPN11 mutations by single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis and direct sequencing. Only three monocytic leukemias had point mutations (1.73%).

Characterization of microbial communities using single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) was compared with that using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE). This comparison was based on the V3-4 region (Escherichia coli positions: 341-806) of 16S rRNA gene of bacterial or archaeal communities obtained from a methanogenic bioreactor. Significant differences in the bacterial bandin...

A non-isotopic single-strand conformation polymorphism ('cold' SSCP) technique has been assessed for the analysis of sequence variability in the expansion segment 5 (ES5) of domain IV and the D3 domain of nuclear ribosomal DNA within and/or among isolates and individual muscle (first-stage) larvae representing all currently recognized species/genotypes of Trichinella. Data are consistent with t...

This study was conducted to assess the potential association between leptin (LEP) gene polymorphisms and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Iraqi patients. Genomic DNA extracted from 120 diabetic subjects 100 controls. Three specific PCR fragments were designed flank three highly frequent single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)s within LEP, rs11761556, rs12706832 rs2167270. The amplified loci geno...

in this study, substitution at codon ser315 of katg gene, a reliable marker for isoniazid (inh) resistance was analyzed and compared by three molecular methods such as dna sequencing, polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (pcr-rflp) and pcr-single strand conformation polymorphism (pcr-sscp) in 105 phenotypically resistant isolates obtained from various parts of indi...

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...
