Abstract
A method based on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification and oligonucleotide ligase assay (OLA) reaction is provided for analyzing complex genetic systems in a single reaction vessel The method involves simultaneously incubating a sample containing one or more target polynucleotides with PCR primers and OLA probes in a single reaction mixture The presence of variant polynucleotide sequences in the sample is determined by detecting and identifying the products of the OLA reaction

A ligase-mediated gene detection technique

TL;DR: An assay for the presence of given DNA sequences has been developed, based on the ability of two oligonucleotides to anneal immediately adjacent to each other on a complementary target DNA molecule, which permits the rapid and standardized identification of single-copy gene sequences in genomic DNA.

Genetic disease detection and DNA amplification using cloned thermostable ligase

TL;DR: This thermostable enzyme, DNA ligase, is harnessed in the assay reported here that both amplifies DNA and discriminates a single-base substitution, and was exploited to detect 200 target molecules as well as to discriminate between normal beta A- and sickle beta S- globin genotypes from 10-microliters blood samples.
