Abstract
Detection of known mutations and polymorphisms at specific locations in DNA is now the basis for genetic diagnosis, molecular genotyping, molecular epidemiology, and rapid identification of various traits in eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms. An optimum system for sequence variation detection needs to offer specificity, sensitivity, flexibility, as well as ease of use and allow rapid and high throughput of samples.
