Competitive Oligonucleotide Single-Base Extension Combined with Mass Spectrometric Detection for Mutation Screening

A rapid, robust and widely applicable mutation detection scheme not requiring radioactivity or gel-based detection is introduced. It is a single-tube, competitive oligonucleotide single-base extension (COSBE) reaction using a pair of primers with the 3′-terminal base complementary to either the norm...
