By slightly adjusting the temperature conditions for the last cycles, fluorophore-labelled ligation probes added to a PCR become enzymatically joined in a target-dependent reaction. The assay allows allelic sequence variants to be resolved, and potentially the results can be recorded by transferring reaction plates to an inexpensive plate reader.

This interesting paper demonstrates several genetic assays, involving replication of circularized DNA strands. Single-nucleotide discrimination in a single-copy gene in total human genomic DNA is demonstrated, and a localized amplification product is elicited from immobilized oligonucleotide probes.
