Question

can anyone explain about the differences between ASO(allele specific oligonucleotide hybridization) and ASA(allele specific amplification)??

it makes my head exploded T T
I will have exams tmr

Answer 1

An allele-specific oligonucleotide (ASO) is a short piece of synthetic DNA complementary to the sequence of a variable target DNA. It acts as a probe for the presence of the target in a Southern blot assay or, more commonly, in the simpler Dot blot assay. It is a common tool used in genetic testing, forensics, and Molecular Biology research.

i couldn't find much info about ASA.

GOOD LUCK with your exams!!!!!!!
