Abstract
By using modified oligonucleotides, it is possible to obtain unprecedented sensitivity when detecting somatic mutations. We will show how the use and optimization of SuPrimers™ (DNA primers with increased specificity), BaseBlockers™ (oligos suppressing amplification of wildtype genes) and HydrolEasy probes (hydrolysis probes with increased signal-to-noise ratio and sensitivity) in combination can yield assays with a sensitivity and specificity great enough to routinely detect less than 0.05% of mutated KRAS and BRAF in a DNA samples.
