Real-time bidirectional pyrophosphorolysis-activated polymerization for quantitative detection of somatic mutations.

Detection of somatic mutations for targeted therapy is increasingly used in clinical settings. However, due to the difficulties of detecting rare mutations in excess of wild-type DNA, current methods often lack high sensitivity, require multiple procedural steps, or fail to be quantitative. We devel...
