ABSTRACT:
A method for detecting point mutations or base substitutions in a nucleic acid polymer is especially useful for detecting such mutations in the highest melting domain (HMD) of a double-stranded nucleic acid polymer and is particularly suited for use with RNA. The method involves the steps of:
