A Practical Example
Detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms that distinguish two strains of mice.
The table below provides information about a few SNPs that distinguish the mouse strains C57BL/6J and 129/Sv. Primer sets were chosen to generate the PCR products listed under “PCR Products”. SURVEYOR Nuclease digestion of the heteroduplexed PCR products was predicted to generate cleavage fragments of the sizes listed under “Digestion Products”.  The presence and sizes of these cleavage fragments was verified using standard gel electrophoresis (S), fluorescent capillary electrophoresis (F), and the WAVE HS System (W).  Experimental results obtained for the first 6 examples (framed in yellow) are shown in the panels below the table.
