Genetic markers: derived CAPS

10_dcaps.png

Pros

  • Enables the conversion of many more SNPs to CAPS assays
  • Co-dominant

Cons

  • Multi-step assay not amenable to high throughput
  • Prior knowledge of sequence polymorphisms

  • dCAPS Finder 2.0 software available at:
  • http://helix.wustl.edu/dcaps/dcaps.html
