Polymorphism, Single-Stranded Conformational MeSH Descriptor Data 2026


MeSH Heading
Polymorphism, Single-Stranded Conformational
Tree Number(s)
G05.365.795.600
Unique ID
D018807
RDF Unique Identifier
http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D018807
Annotation
POLYMORPHISM, SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE is also available
Scope Note
Variation in a population's DNA sequence that is detected by determining alterations in the conformation of denatured DNA fragments. Denatured DNA fragments are allowed to renature under conditions that prevent the formation of double-stranded DNA and allow secondary structure to form in single stranded fragments. These fragments are then run through polyacrylamide gels to detect variations in the secondary structure that is manifested as an alteration in migration through the gels.
