The application of enhanced chemiluminescence to membrane-based nucleic acid detection.

The ECL gene detection system is a novel, sensitive, non-radioactive system for the detection of nucleic acid hybridized on both nylon and nitrocellulose membranes. It is characterized by direct labeling of probe sequences with horseradish peroxidase combined with an enhanced chemiluminescent (ECL) detection reaction; the light output is captured on blue-light sensitive film. The application of the system to a range of standard molecular biology hybridization techniques is described.

Rolling circle amplification for scoring single nucleotide polymorphisms.

The analysis of the genetic basis of phenotypic traits is moving towards the complex diseases prevalent in wealthy populations. There is an increasing requirement for the detection of different types of sequence variation, particularly single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). SNPs occur about once every 100 to 300 bases. High-density SNP maps will help to identify the multiple genes associated with complex diseases such as cancer, diabetes, vascular disease, and some forms of mental illness.
