BIOTECHNIQUES文献大全abstract::Hereditary hemochromatosis (HHC) represents an autosomal recessive disease in which increased iron absorption causes iron overload and irreversible tissue damage. The recently detected association between two point mutations in the HFE gene on chromosome 6p and HHC has made it possible to screen for the disease before...

abstract::Cycling probe technology (CPT) is a simple signal amplification method for the detection of specific target DNA sequences. CPT uses a chimeric DNA-RNA-DNA probe that is cut by RNase H when bound to its complementary target sequence. In this study, a hybridization assay was developed to detect biotinylated CPT products...
