Heteroduplex Analysis MeSH Descriptor Data 2025


MeSH Heading
Heteroduplex Analysis
Tree Number(s)
E05.393.661.250
Unique ID
D020180
RDF Unique Identifier
http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D020180
Scope Note
A method of detecting gene mutation by mixing PCR-amplified mutant and wild-type DNA followed by denaturation and reannealing. The resultant products are resolved by gel electrophoresis, with single base substitutions detectable under optimal electrophoretic conditions and gel formulations. Large base pair mismatches may also be analyzed by using electron microscopy to visualize heteroduplex regions.
