Single strand conformation polymorphism SSCP , or single strand chain polymorphism, is defined as conformational difference of single stranded DNA nucleotide sequences of identical length as induced by differences in the sequences under certain experimental conditions. This property allows to distinguish the sequences by means of gel electrophoresis , which separates the different conformations. Physical background A single nucleotide change in a particular sequence, as seen in a double stranded DNA, cannot be distinguished by electrophoresis, because the physical properties of the double strands are almost identical for both alleles. After denaturation, single stranded DNA undergoes a 3 dimensional folding and may assume a unique conformational state based on its DNA sequence. The difference in shape between two single stranded DNA strands with different sequences can cause them to migrate differently on an electrophoresis gel, even though the number of nucleotides is the same, which is, in fact, an application of SSCP. Applications in molecular biology SSCP used to be a way to discover new DNA polymorphisms apart from DNA sequencing, but is now being supplanted by sequencing techniques on account of efficiency and accuracy. These days, SSCP is most applicable as a diagnostic tool in molecular biology. It can be used in genotyping to detect homozygous individuals of different allelic states, as well as heterozygous individuals that should each demonstrate distinct patterns in an electrophoresis experiment. SSCP is also widely used in virology to detect variations in different strains of a virus, the idea being that a particular virus particle present in both strains will have undergone changes due to mutation, and that these changes will cause the two particles to assume ... conformational polymorphism analysis and nucleotide sequencing of a fragment from the nucleocapsid ...

In genetic genealogy a unique event polymorphism UEP is a genetic marker that corresponds to a mutation that is likely to occur so infrequently that it is believed overwhelmingly probable that all the individuals who share the marker, worldwide, will have inherited it from the same common ancestor, and the same single mutation event. Generally, UEP is an allele for which all copies derive from a single mutation al event. ref cite book ISBN 978 087969684 9 ref In genetic genealogy, the mutations considered to be UEPs can be any germline mutation . They are usually single nucleotide polymorphism s SNP &ndash the replacement of one letter by another in the DNA sequence, and the terms UEP and SNP are often loosely used interchangeably. But UEPs may also be large scale additions, such as the YAP genetics YAP insertion that defines haplogroup DE Y DNA Y DNA haplogroup DE , inversions or deletions. The discovery and widespread testing of new UEPs has been the key to the increasingly detailed analysis of the patrilineal and matrilineal ancestry of mankind into more distinct family trees of Y DNA and mtDNA haplogroup s. UEPs in X chromosome X and autosome autosomal chromosomes are also used to trace genealogy, to extend the time ranges available for Y DNA and mtDNA. ref cite doi 10.1038 nrg1941 ref Comparison with short tandem repeats STRs The properties of UEPs can be contrasted with those of short tandem repeat sequences STRs , the other main type of genetic variation used in genealogical DNA test ing. Unlike UEPs, STR sequences are highly variable. There is a significant probability that one of a set may have changed its repeat number after only a few generations. That makes a particular STR haplotype much more specific, matching a much smaller number of people.

In molecular biology , restriction fragment length polymorphism , or RFLP commonly pronounced rif lip , is a technique that exploits variations in homologous DNA sequences. It refers to a polymorphism biology difference between samples of homologous DNA molecules that come from differing locations of restriction site restriction enzyme sites , and to a related laboratory technique by which these segments can be illustrated. In RFLP analysis , the DNA sample is broken into pieces digested by restriction enzymes and the resulting restriction fragments are separated according to their lengths by gel electrophoresis . Although now largely obsolete due to the rise of inexpensive DNA sequencing technologies, RFLP analysis was the first DNA profiling technique inexpensive enough to see widespread application. In addition to genetic fingerprinting , RFLP was an important tool in genome mapping , localization of genes for genetic disorder s, determination of Genetic testing risk for disease, and paternity testing . Analysis technique The basic technique for detecting RFLPs involves fragmenting a sample of DNA by a restriction enzyme , which can recognize and cut DNA wherever a recognition sequence specific short base pairs sequence occurs, in a process known as a restriction digest . The resulting DNA fragments are then separated by length through a process known as agarose gel electrophoresis , and transferred to a membrane via the Southern blot procedure. Nucleic acid hybridization Hybridization of the membrane to a labeled Hybridization probe DNA probe then determines the length of the fragments which are Complementarity molecular biology complementary to the probe.

Orphan date April 2012 Terminal Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism TRFLP or sometimes T RFLP is a molecular biology technique for profiling of microbial communities based on the position of a restriction site closest to a labeled end of an amplified gene. The method is based on digesting a mixture of PCR amplified variants of a single gene using one or more restriction enzyme s and detecting the size of each of the individual resulting terminal fragments using a DNA sequencer . The result is a graph image where the X axis represents the sizes of the fragment and the Y axis represents their fluorescence intensity. Background TRFLP is one of several molecular methods aimed to generate a Community Fingerprinting fingerprint of an unknown microbial community. Other similar methods include TGGE DGGE, TGGE , ARISA , ARDRA , Phospholipid derived fatty acids PLFA , etc. br These relatively high throughput methods were developed in order to reduce the cost and effort in analyzing microbial communities using a clone library . The method was first described by Liu and colleagues in 1997 ref name basic Liu, W, Marsh, T, Cheng, H, & Forney, L 1997 Characterization of microbial diversity by determining terminal restriction fragment length polymorphisms of genes encoding 16S rRNA. Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 63 4516 4522 ref which employed the amplification of the 16S ribosomal RNA 16S rDNA target gene from the DNA of several isolated bacteria as well as environmental samples. br Since then the method has been applied for the use of other marker genes such as the functional marker gene pmoA to analyze methanotrophic communities. Method Like most other community analysis methods, TRFLP is also based on PCR amplification of a target gene. In the case of TRFLP, the amplification is performed with one or both the primers having their 5 end labeled with a fluorescent molecule. In case ...
