ABSTRACT:
The subject invention relates to high-throughput methods of screening DNA for mutations. These methods offer various unexpected advantages over current methods. In a preferred embodiment, the subject invention includes pooling DNA samples from many plants that were subjected to mutagenesis. Methods of the subject invention include highly sensitive means for detecting individual mutants, preferably deletions, in large pools or collections of DNA samples.
