SSCP Analysis, or Single-Strand Conformation Polymorphism Analysis, is a molecular biology technique used to detect genetic variations or mutations in DNA sequences. It is a sensitive and cost-effective method for identifying single-base changes or small insertions/deletions in DNA samples.
SSCP Analysis offers several advantages as a mutation detection method:
-
Sensitivity: SSCP Analysis is capable of detecting single-base changes and small insertions/deletions with high sensitivity.
-
Cost-Effectiveness: Compared to other mutation detection techniques like sequencing or genotyping, SSCP Analysis is a relatively inexpensive method.
-
Speed: SSCP Analysis can be performed in a relatively short time, allowing for rapid screening of DNA samples.
-
Versatility: SSCP Analysis can be applied to various types of DNA samples, including genomic DNA, amplified PCR products, and even complex mixtures.
