Overview: Base excision sequence scanning (BESS) is used to detect and localize point mutations in mammalian genes. The cost of BESS can be significant in large-scale projects, however, due to the requirement for end-labeling of one of the two PCR primers. This is especially true when a fluorescent label is used for detection. The paper describes a TP-BESS procedure where one fluorescence-labeled primer which is used as a universal label for all the PCR reactions in BESS analysis. The universal label makes BESS financially more feasible for large-scale detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).
