title: Scanning for DNA variants by denaturant capillary electrophoresis.
abstract: Analysis and detection of DNA variation is important in any field of biology. Hence, numerous methods have been developed to analyze DNA. A simple yet effective way of analyzing DNA is by denaturant capillary electrophoresis (DCE). The method is in theory applicable to 95% of the human genome. The method involves three steps; fragment design, PCR amplification and allele separation. The allele separation can in principle be performed with any DNA capillary sequencing instrument.
