AbstractThe method for SNP genotyping described in this unit is based on the
commercially available Sequenom MassARRAY platform. The assay consists of an
initial locus‐specific PCR reaction, followed by single base extension using
mass‐modified dideoxynucleotide terminators of an oligonucleotide primer which
anneals immediately upstream of the polymorphic site of interest. Using
MALDI‐TOF mass spe... hiện toàn bộ

AbstractCOSMIC is currently the most comprehensive global resource for
information on somatic mutations in human cancer, combining curation of the
scientific literature with tumor resequencing data from the Cancer Genome
Project at the Sanger Institute, U.K. Almost 4800 genes and 250000 tumors have
been examined, resulting in over 50000 mutations available for investigation.
This information can b... hiện toàn bộ
AbstractThis unit describes the gene‐specific quantitative PCR‐based (QPCR)
assay, which is used to measure DNA integrity of both nuclear and mitochondrial
genomes based on amplification of long DNA targets. QPCR can be used to quantify
the formation of DNA damage and the kinetics of DNA repair by following
restoration of amplification of the target DNA over time after removal of the
damaging agen... hiện toàn bộ
