Analytical Validity: Help
The principle of MLPA is based on the amplification (by use of a single PCR primer pair) of up to 60 probes, each of which detecting a specific DNA sequence of approximately 60 nt in length. After denaturation of the sample DNA, a mixture of MLPA probes is added to … View more
