## Abstract A small percentage of renal patients become infected with the BK polyomavirus (BKV), a pathogenic virus that causes BKV‐associated nephropathy (BKVN), after kidney transplantation. This study presents a simple, rapid, high‐throughput method for BKV genotyping using high‐resolution melt

Abstract
In order to facilitate high throughput genotyping of zebrafish, we have developed a novel technique that uses High Resolution Melting Analysis (HRMA) to distinguish wild‐type, heterozygous mutants and homogyzous mutants. This one hour technique removes the need for restriction enzymes and agarose gels. The generated melting curve profiles are sensitive enough to detect non‐specific PCR products. We have been able to reliably genotype three classes of mutations in zebrafish, including point mutants, apc^hu745^ (apc^mcr^), and p53^zy7^ (p53^I166T^), a small deletion mutant (bap28^y75^) and a retroviral insertion mutant (wdr43^hi821a^). This technique can genotype individual zebrafish embryos and adults (by tail‐clip) and is applicable to other model organisms. Developmental Dynamics 238:3168–3174, 2009. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
