Rare allele enrichment and detection by allele-specific PCR, competitive probe blocking and melting analysis

Protocol Summary We have combined allele-specific PCR, competitive probe blocking, asymmetric PCR, and melting analysis to enhance rare allele detection in a homogeneous system. Unlabeled, dual hybridization or molecular beacon probes were used for competitive blocking of the wild-type allele at a c...
