High-throughput single nucleotide polymorphism typing by fluorescent single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis with capillary electrophoresis.
In this study, we performed high-throughput and precise single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) typing by fluorescent capillary electrophoresis single-strand conformation polymorphism (CE-SSCP) analysis. A system composed of a multicapillary DNA analyzer, a newly developed sieving matrix, four different colors of fluorescent labels, and a multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) enabled low-cost and highly reliable SNP typing. Moreover, this system enabled the estimation of SNP allele frequencies using pooled DNA samples, which should be beneficial for large-scale association studies. Thus, fluorescent CE-SSCP analysis is a useful method for large-scale SNP typing.
