METHOD OF DETERMINING THE GENOTYPE OF AN ORGANISM USING AN ALLELE SPECIFIC OLIGONUCLEOTIDE PROBE WHICH HYBRIDISES TO MICROSATELLITE FLANKING SEQUENCES

摘要

A method is described for the determination of the genotype of an organism which comprises the step of hybridising an Allele Specific Oligonucleotide (ASO) probe to a target DNA sequence in which the target DNA sequence comprises a sequence of DNA which flanks a microsatellite repeat unit or Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR).
