Task N.7: site-directed mutagenesis


  • This activity is a wiki dedicated to the methods that can be used for site-directed mutagenesis.
  • You can add information and make corrections to the text inserted by others.
  • Your partecipation to this wiki will be evaluated.
  • Note: If you wand to add a link to a new page just type the word to be linked between these tags: [xxx] and a new page will be created automatically.
  • Once linked, please do not change name of the linked page elsewhere you will loose the link!!!!

shy don't feel shy, cick on "Edit" and add your information on this page [edit]

PCR-mediated overlap extension can prodice specific nucleotide mutations or generate chimeric gene products.

Figure a illustrates the PCR-mediated overlap extension methods leading to specific mutations. Four primers are used that have the following characteristics....
