β¦ Synopsis
Communicated by R. G. H. Cotton Double-stranded heteroduplex molecules that form between a mutant and wild-type D N A strand are often distinguished from homoduplex molecules upon gel electrophoresis. This method, heteroduplex analysis (HA), can be performed rapidly without radioisotopes or specialized equipment. Modifications and enhancements of the H A method have been developed that increase the sensitivity of detection of single-base pair alterations. *O 1995 Witey-Liss, Inc.
