โฆ Synopsis
We have developed a strategy for the complete detection of point mutations, small insertions and deletions by chemical cleavage based on the methodology of Cotton et al. (1988). The technique was extended by the development of a nonisotopic cleavage product detection system using silver staining after gel electrophoresis. The complete mutation detection was achieved by use of mutant and wild-type DNAs in equimolar quantities in duplex formation, thus any mismatches that are resistant to chemical cleavage (e.g., some T-G mismatches) are easily detected by cleavage of the complementary heteroduplex (e.g., A-C mismatch). With such a strategy mutant DNAs can be screened for mutations and polymorphisms. The advantages of complete unlabeled mutation detection are considerable.

We have developed a solid phase chemical cleavage method (SpCCM) for screening large DNA fragments for mutations. All reactions can be carried out in microtiterwells from the first amplification of the patient (or test) DNA through the search for mutations. The reaction time is significantly reduced
Mutation detection techniques are often limited by sensitivity, ease of use and short fragment lengths. Enzyme mismatch cleavage (EMC) is a technique capable of rapidly scanning 1 kbp fragments of DNA for mutations. It relies on the ability of a bacteriophage resolvase enzyme, T4 endonuclease VII, t
